2019 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · EO69 AAK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward deferred consumable repairs. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 40,389 miles passed, it introduced several new advisories that were not present in previous years. The transition from a clean record in 2023 to multiple defects in 2025 suggests that the owner is now reacting only to MOT failures rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 40,389 miles over seven years, the Hyundai reflects low-annual usage, averaging approximately 5,770 miles per year. The mileage pattern appears consistent, with only about 3,000 miles driven between the September 2024 and 2025 tests. However, low-mileage often accelerates the degradation of rubber-based components. The 2025 advisory regarding perishing and cracking on the rear tyres is a classic symptom of age-related wear, where the rubber dries out due to time rather than simple tread wear. A buyer must inspect the rear suspension and alignment, as the record consistently flags tyres worn on the edges. In 2022, 2024, and 2025, the tester noted uneven tyre wear, which typically indicates worn suspension bushes, faulty shock absorbers, or incorrect wheel geometry. The frayed webbing on the nearside front seat belt noted in 2025 is a safety concern that requires immediate replacement, as it will likely fail the next inspection. Additionally, check the brake discs for corrosion or pitting, as low usage can sometimes cause the calipers to seize during periods of inactivity.
