2018 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · FH18 UAP

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear pattern of component degradation related to low usage. While the most recent test in early June 2026 at 15,237 miles passed, the tester flagged perishing across all four tyres and corrosion on the rear brake discs. This follows a recurring issue noted in May 2025 where the car initially failed due to a faulty wiper blade and similar mechanical defects before being rectified for pass. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,900 miles per year. A significant gap exists between the June 2023 test at 10,673 miles and the May 2024 test at 12,399 miles. This low-frequency operation suggests the car sits for long periods, which explains the state of the rubber components and metal surfaces. The cracking in the tyres and the pitting on the brake discs are classic symptoms of oxidation and age rather than high-mile wear. A buyer must inspect the suspension system closely, as the 2024 record noted delamination of bushes on both the nearside and offside front suspension arms. Although these were not flagged as failures later, they indicate the rubber is reaching its structural limit. The brake system also requires attention; historical binding issues in 2024 and persistent pitting on the discs suggest the calipers may be seizing due to lack of use. Immediate replacement of all tyres is necessary, as the perishing noted in June 2026 indicates the rubber is compromised regardless of the remaining tread depth.
