2010 Hyundai I10 1.1L Petrol · ET59 FFD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive service pattern rather than proactive care. While it passed its latest test in June 2025 at 97,365 miles, this followed a failure just four days prior. The trend shows a recurring need to address safety-critical items only when they trigger an MOT failure. The de-regulation of the center seat belt and stop lamps in 2025 suggests that the owner neglected basic equipment checks until the annual testing deadline. At 97,365 miles over 16 years, the car has averaged approximately 6,085 miles per year, which is consistent with low-intensity urban usage. The mileage data shows consistent intervals, with 2,272 miles recorded between February 2023 and June 2024, and another 2,217 miles in the year leading to the 2025 tests. However, the low mileage does not exempt the vehicle from aging rubber and metal components, as evidenced by the persistent suspension issues noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the rear suspension and braking system. The tester repeatedly flagged a damaged offside front coil spring mounting in 2024 and a corroded offside rear coil spring in 2025. These indicators suggest structural corrosion or stress fatigue that could deteriorate rapidly if not monitored. Furthermore, the history shows a pattern of ignoring brake components, with pads reaching the wear indicators in 2024 and being noted as previously, suggesting the owner only replaces parts at the point of failure. The condition of the tyres requires immediate attention. The June 2025 test noted front tyres worn to the legal limit and worn on the edges, indicating potential alignment issues or simply neglected replacement. Given that the last MOT was over a year ago as of the current date, the buyer should verify if the current tread depth and condition remain sufficient for another year of travel. Inspect the chassis for surface rust around the spring mounting points to ensure the reported corrosion on the coil springs has not progressed into significant structural failure.
