2017 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · GF67 YJM

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear worsening of the brake system condition. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 52,594 miles passed, the tester identified multiple defects across the entire braking assembly. These include binding nearside rear brakes and thin pads along with pitted and scored discs on all four wheels. This represents a significant decline from the clean records seen in 2022 and 2023, indicating reactive rather than preventative maintenance. At 52,594 miles over nine years, the car reflects a low average mileage profile of approximately 5,800 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 5,000 miles driven between the January 2025 and 2026 tests. However, the low mileage likely correlates with the corrosion issues noted in the record. The heavy corrosion on inner rear disc faces reported in 2025 and surface pitting in 2026 suggest the vehicle may sit for long periods, allowing moisture to cause deoxidation on the metal components. A buyer must prioritise an inspection of the braking hardware to ensure the binding calipers have been serviced or replaced and that the new discs and pads are fitted correctly. The recurring nature of thin pads and worn discs suggests the owner ignores wear items until an MOT failure. Additionally, the tyres should be checked for sidewall perishing, as the 2025 test flagged a cracked offside rear tyre and the 2024 test noted uneven wear on the front nearside. The 2026 note regarding items obstructing the driver's view also requires a physical check of the cabin and windscreen area.
