2014 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · FX14 USS

The Hyundai i10 demonstrates a generally acceptable maintenance trend, culminating in a pass on January 20, 2026, at 55,567 miles. This latest test required initial rectification, as the vehicle failed its first attempt on the same day due to critically thin offside rear brake pads measuring under 1.5 millimetres alongside front tyres worn close to the legal limit. Addressing these failures cleared the roadworthiness hurdles, though the persistent appearance of consumable wear points to reactive rather than proactive servicing by the previous custodian. Accumulating 55,567 miles over its twelve-year lifespan translates to a modest annual average of approximately 4,600 miles, placing this hatchback firmly in the low-mileage category. The mileage accrual remained steady through the early years, moving from 25,715 miles in February 2017 to 43,009 miles in March 2023. A notable acceleration occurred thereafter, with the odometer jumping by nearly 11,000 miles between January 2025 and January 2026 alone, indicating a recent shift toward heavier operational use after a prolonged period of light town driving. Inspecting this vehicle in person requires a close examination of the braking system and front axle assembly. The 2026 failure noted severely worn rear brake pads, following an advisory in March 2022 for worn and pitted rear brake discs, meaning the rear friction surfaces demand a thorough physical check for remaining thickness and scoring. Buyers should also verify the condition of the steering rack gaiters, following a failure in January 2025 for a missing nearside gaiter that risked contaminant ingress into the steering mechanism. Minor historical items such as the minor oil leak and tyre pressure monitoring system fault noted in March 2020 warrant a dry underbody inspection to confirm no active powertrain leaks have developed.
