2014 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · GU64 NDO

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently passing, as the most recent MOT test on 2025-06-26 was passed with no recorded defects at 32,030 miles. This indicates that the vehicle maintains its mechanical integrity, though the history reveals a distinct and improving maintenance trend. The tester flagged binding rear brakes in the September 2023 test, which was followed by a failure on 2025-06-25 at 32,029 miles. This sequence suggests a pattern of neglect in brake servicing, where the brakes were likely serviced infrequently, leading to a gradual deterioration of the braking system rather than an immediate catastrophic failure. Regarding the mileage context, the vehicle is approximately 12 years old with 32,030 recorded miles, representing roughly 2,669 miles per year. While the mileage is low for its age, it is not clean; the gap between the September 2023 test (27,050 miles) and the September 2025 test (32,030 miles) is significant, suggesting the car has been stored or maintained for over two years without any recorded service intervals. The rapid accumulation of miles over such a short period implies that the vehicle has been driven for a long time, which is a risk factor for suspension and drivetrain components. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of the suspension and drivetrain components. The history indicates a lack of regular maintenance for suspension bushes, coil springs, and binding calipers, which could lead to a loss of ride height or handling. Additionally, the brake condition has deteriorated over time, with the brakes potentially showing signs of corrosion or binding, which would affect safety and performance. While the brakes were initially flagged as binding in the September 2023 test, this could be due to wear and tear rather than a specific defect, requiring further inspection to determine if they are still functional. The overall mechanical trend is improving, but the history of infrequent servicing and rapid mileage accumulation makes the vehicle a candidate for further inspection to rule out hidden structural issues.
