2018 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · FG18 OHH

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following the February 2026 test at 34,577 miles, though the maintenance trend shows a recurring focus on braking system issues. While the most recent result was a pass, the tester flagged a nearside rear service brake binding. This follows a pattern of brake-related advisories and failures seen over the previous two years, suggesting that while the vehicle remains roadworthy, the braking components require consistent monitoring. The mileage history indicates a low-use profile for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,322 miles per year. Between March 2023 and March 2024, the car covered 2,324 miles, and between March 2024 and March 2025, it covered 2,663 miles. The most recent interval between March 2025 and February 2026 shows an increase to 8,209 miles. This recent uptick in annual mileage suggests the vehicle is being used more frequently than in previous years, which may accelerate the wear on consumable parts like tyres and brake pads. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system. The March 2024 failure specifically highlighted offside rear brake pads with excessive heat damage and crumbling friction material, alongside a pitted offside rear brake disc. Given the February 2026 advisory regarding a binding nearside rear brake, the calipers and discs should be checked for uneven wear, corrosion, or sticking. The steering system also warrants attention; although the March 2024 test noted a detached steering rack gator clip, ensuring the boot is intact and free from splits is essential to prevent debris from damaging the rack. Finally, check the condition of the tyres and suspension components. The 2024 failure for a cut tyre reaching the cords indicates a need to verify that the current tyre tread and sidewall integrity meet safety standards. Because the vehicle has spent much of its life covering low annual distances, it is worth inspecting for any signs of age-related degradation, such as perished rubber bushes or dry-rotted tyres, which can occur when a vehicle sits idle for extended periods.
