2010 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · FY10 CYK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but exhibits a clear trend of accelerating structural and mechanical degradation. While it passed its most recent test in December 2025 at 97,962 miles, it failed that same inspection due to a dangerous nearside front tyre sidewall. The record shows a persistent pattern of corrosion across the front sub-frame and suspension arms that has remained present through every test since at least January 2024. At 97,962 miles over sixteen years, the Hyundai has averaged approximately 6,123 miles per annum, indicating a relatively consistent usage pattern typical for a small city car. The data shows steady mileage accumulation, with 3,547 miles covered between January 2024 and December 2024, and another 1,348 miles leading up to the December 2025 test. This low mileage suggests the vehicle is used regularly, yet the age-related wear is clearly manifesting in the underbody metalwork. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the front sub-frame and suspension arms, as these have been flagged for corrosion in four consecutive MOT tests. The December 2025 test introduced new concerns regarding a corroded offside rear brake pipe and offside rear coil spring mounting, which indicate that rust is moving beyond surface-level into functional braking and suspension components. The buyer should also check for signs of grease on brake lines, as the previous tester noted the pipe was covered in material which may mask the extent of the decay.
