2016 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · EY16 FCJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend of deferred repairs and reactive maintenance. The most recent test in September 2025 at 84,664 miles revealed multiple advisories related to the braking system and tyres. While the car passed, the presence of thin rear brake pads, pitted discs, and a fluctuating rear service brake suggests that the owner is only addressing components once they approach the point of inspection failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with its age, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a decade-old city car. There is a significant gap in data between April 2022 at 42,709 miles and March 2024 at 67,420 miles, representing a spike of over 25,000 miles in two years. Since then, the vehicle has covered another 17,000 miles, indicating a recent period of higher usage that has likely accelerated the wear on the suspension and braking components. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension, as the nearside front suspension arm ball joint was flagged for play in March 2024 and remains a concern given the subsequent 2025 findings. The braking system requires immediate attention; the 2025 record of thin rear pads and scored discs indicates that the hardware is nearing the end of its functional life. Furthermore, the nearside front tyre was noted as worn on the edge last test, which may indicate incorrect alignment or worn bushes that need professional verification to prevent premature tyre failure.
