2014 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · EY64 XSM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding structural corrosion and mechanical neglect. While it passed its most recent test in February 2026 at 53,213 miles, it had failed just one day prior due to multiple defects. The persistent presence of an inoperative engine management light and deteriorating suspension dust covers suggests that critical issues are overlooked until inspection failure. The recurring nature of corroded brake pipes and sub-frame oxidation indicates a lack of preventative treatment against environmental damage. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 53,213 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,434 miles per year. This low usage typically suggests less mechanical wear on the drivetrain, but in this case it correlates with accelerated degradation of rubber components. Between February 2024 at 48,580 miles and February 2026 at 53,213 miles, the car covered fewer 5,000 miles, yet this period saw the transition from suspension arm bushes to structural corrosion. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the rear sub-frame, as the corrosion has progressed from an advisory in 2025 to a noted structural concern in 2026. The offside front brake pipe requires close scrutiny; the presence of grease noted by the tester often masks the extent of the metal decay. Additionally, the engine management light must be diagnosed with a professional tool, as it has caused failures in both 2025 and 2026. The front suspension ball joints and dust covers should be checked for free movement to ensure the recent failure in 2026 was been fully rectified.
