2014 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · FP64 JVM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its March 2026 test, but the history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While the car passed on 27 March 2026 at 69,922 miles, the immediate failure preceding it highlights a lapse in basic safety inspections. The presence of a de-compliant offside rear tyre with exposed cords and a worn nearside front indicates that the previous owner ignored critical consumable wear until it necessitated a failed test result. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 69,922 represents an annual average of approximately 5,827 miles, which is significantly below the national average. The data pattern shows consistent usage between 2023 and 2026, where the vehicle covered roughly 3,000 miles per year. However, low-mileage vehicles of this age often face age-related degradation of rubber components and potential corrosion, which may be exacerbated by the non-excess oil leak noted in the most recent 2026 inspection. A buyer must personally inspect the engine bay to assess the oil leak flagged in the March 2026 test. Although the tester noted it was not excessive, persistent leaks on low-mileage engines often indicate gaskets or seals that will eventually require replacement. The recurring issue with nearside front tyre wear in both 2023 and 2026 suggests an underlying alignment problem or worn suspension bushes that require a professional check to prevent premature tyre failure in the future.
