2011 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · EN60 KVM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the recent inspection history indicates a concerning trend of reactive maintenance. While the car passed its most recent test in January 2026 at 66,971 miles, it suffered a failure just seventeen days prior. This failure revealed multiple critical issues including a faulty stop lamp, poor parking brake efficiency, and a perished front suspension arm ball joint dust cover. The sequence suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when forced by an MOT failure rather than following a preventative service schedule. The mileage profile is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,465 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage data between January 2023 (27,090 miles) and January 2024 (47,325 miles), where the car covered over 20,000 miles in a single year. Since then, usage has dropped back to roughly 9,000 miles annually. Such low annual mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components and brake corrosion, which aligns with the mechanical issues observed. A buyer must prioritise inspect the front suspension geometry, as the record shows a recurring pattern of uneven tyre wear on the inside edges from 2023 through 2026. This indicates a persistent alignment issue or worn bushes and joints that have not been properly rectified. The parking brake system should also be tested thoroughly, as it failed to meet efficiency requirements in early January 2026. Given the age of the vehicle and low mileage, a physical check for chassis corrosion and seized caliper sliders is essential, as long periods of standing can accelerate structural decay in older Hyundais.
