2009 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · EO59 NLR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend toward improving maintenance. The most recent inspection in September 2025 at 35,175 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. This follows a 2024 failure where the rear brake discs were flagged for pitting and scoring, a condition that has since been rectified to achieve a pass. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,069 miles per year. Between October 2023 and September 2024, the car covered only 902 miles, suggesting very infrequent short-distance use or long periods of storage. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber seals and fluid corrosion due to inactivity rather than mechanical friction. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and sealing components, particularly the offside front shock absorber which showed oil misting in the 2021 test at 30,147 miles. Although the 2025 test passed without issues, the history of an oil leak necessitates a thorough check of the engine block and gearbox seals for any active weeping. Additionally, given the low annual mileage and the previous pitting on brake discs, the buyer should verify that the calipers are not seized and that the brake lines remain free from internal corrosion.
