2013 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · GU13 OOC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive repair pattern rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 103,647 miles passed, it highlighted minor defects including a poor number plate and a worn nearside rear tyre. The trend shows that mechanical faults are only addressed after a test failure, as seen in March 2025, where multiple suspension and cooling issues were identified before a subsequent pass. The mileage profile is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. The record shows steady usage with roughly 7,500 miles covered between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 9,400 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. This consistent accumulation suggests the car is used regularly, which typically leads to age-related wear on rubber-bound components and suspension bushings that aligns with the recurring failures noted in the history. A buyer must scrutinize the front suspension geometry due to recurring issues with track rod ends and anti-roll bar linkages. The tester repeatedly flagged damaged dust covers and ball joint play across 2024 and 2025, indicating potential alignment issues causing uneven tyre wear. Furthermore, the distorted offside front inner road wheel noted in 2025 suggests a past impact that should be checked for secondary structural damage or vibration during a test drive. The cooling system requires close attention, as a radiator leak was flagged in early 2025 and must be verified as fully resolved rather than merely patched with a temporary sealant. The history of outer-edge tyre wear in both 2024 and 2026 points to a persistent misalignment or worn camber components that have not been definitively corrected. Inspect the current state of all four tyres to ensure the previous owner has finally addressed the underlying causes of the noted wear patterns.
