2016 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · EY16 WDW

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, but the history reveals a period of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 65,841 miles passed, it introduced new advisories for worn front brake discs and a misting offside rear shock absorber. This represents a slight decline from the clean record seen in 2025, where the car failed multiple tests for significant mechanical defects, suggesting that repairs are only addressed after failures occur. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use urban vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between February 2022 (26,583 miles) and March 2023 (30,519 miles), where the car covered less than 4,000 miles in a year. This period of low mileage coincides with the major failures seen in March 2023, where the vehicle suffered from an overheating engine and an unserviceable battery, issues often associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer must closely inspect the electrical system and cooling assembly, as the record failures in early 2023 flagged multiple instances of wiring dragging or touching hot parts and a faulty cooling fan. The recurring issue with insecure headlamps appearing in both 2023 and 2024 indicates a failure to properly secure external components. Additionally, the misting on the rear shock absorber noted in 2026 suggests the suspension is beginning to fail and will require replacement shortly to maintain handling integrity.
