2015 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · GD64 EUY

The most recent MOT on 2026-01-13 recorded two safety-critical issues: rear brake pads wearing thin (1.1.13 (a) (ii)) and a rear brake disc that was worn, pitted, or scored but not seriously weakened (1.1.14 (a) (ii)). These defects indicate progressive wear on the braking system, which requires immediate attention to maintain safe stopping performance. The MOT history shows a pattern of minor, repairable issues rather than systemic failures. A 2024-01-22 failure cited an offside rear stop lamp not working, which was resolved by the next MOT. The 2025-01-20 test noted a TPMS light on, suggesting potential tire pressure monitoring system faults. These issues are not severe but highlight inconsistent maintenance. The condition trend appears stable overall, with no recurring major defects. However, the 2026 MOT’s brake wear raises concerns about long-term reliability. The vehicle’s low mileage (27,557 miles over 11 years, ~2,505 miles per year) suggests either light use or extended periods of inactivity, which can accelerate corrosion or component degradation in stationary vehicles. This ambiguity means wear may not align with typical age-based expectations.
