2010 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · EX60 KCK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 83,667 miles, it had failed that same test due to significant safety issues including mismatched tyres on the rear axle and an insecure bumper. The record shows recurring advisories across several years, such as the corroded nearside rear brake pipe and frayed seat belt webbing, which suggest that the owner only addresses faults once they threaten an MOT pass. At 83,667 miles, this 16-year-old Hyundai has covered a low average of approximately 5,200 miles per year. The data shows consistent but low-volume usage, with 4,620 miles recorded between August 2023 and another 5,614 miles followed until October 2025. However, the low mileage has not prevented age-related degradation, particularly in the rubber components as evidenced by cracking tyres and perishing brake pipes, which often indicates a vehicle that sits stationary or undergoes short journeys. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the chassis integrity and braking system. The history flags persistent corrosion on the nearside rear wheel arch and lower suspension spring mountings starting in 2023, which requires close monitoring for structural rot beyond simple surface rust. The braking system shows a clear pattern of thin pads and pitted discs across multiple tests (2023 and 2024), indicating that components are frequently nearing the end of their service life. The condition of the nearside rear brake pipe is a priority concern as the tester noted it was covered in grease, which is often a tactic used to hide deep-seated corrosion. Additionally, the offside front seat belt webbing should be checked for further structural failure, as it was flagged as a point of failure. Given the recent failure for mismatched tyres and incorrect headlamp aim, the buyer should verify that all tyres currently meet legal specifications and that the lighting is properly aligned.
