2014 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · GF14 GME

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. While it passed its most recent test in March 2026 at 98,999 miles, this followed a failure involving multiple mechanical and lighting defects. The trend is fluctuating, as the owner appears to address critical faults only after failing an MOT, evidenced by the immediate replacement of brake pads and discs following the most recent failure. At 98,999 miles, this 12-year-old Hyundai has averaged approximately 8,250 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a small city car. The mileage progression shows consistent annual use, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 9,000 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which generally helps prevent age-related degradation of rubber seals and fluid components. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system and front-end geometry. The March 2026 failure flagged fluctuating front service brakes and thin nearside rear pads alongside discoloured, pitted rear discs, suggesting potential caliper sticking or glazing from overheating. Furthermore, the 2024 advisory noted front tyres wearing on the inner edges, which often points to a tracking misalignment or worn suspension bushes that need to be professionally rectified to prevent premature tyre failure. The tyres are also a recurring point of concern, with the vehicle failing for illegal tread depth and structural sidew damage in 2025. The buyer should verify the current condition of all four tyres to ensure no further cuts or cord exposure are present. The recurring failures for insufficient windscreen washer fluid and light bulbs across multiple years indicate that basic daily-trip checks are frequently neglected until the MOT test mandates a fix.
