2009 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · GY59 CXG

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of deferred repairs rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 45,883 miles resulted in a pass, it revealed new issues alongside unresolved mechanical wear from previous years. The presence of pitted brake discs and corroded coil springs in 2025 indicates that the owner only addresses components when they approach an MOT failure threshold rather than during routine service intervals. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,700 miles per year. Between August 2022 at 37,096 miles and August 2025 at 45,883 miles, the car covered only 8,787 miles. This low usage explains the light wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it often correlates with the accelerated corrosion of rubber components and metal surfaces due to long periods of inactivity, which is evident in the recorded faults. A buyer must pay close attention to the suspension system, as corrosion on the coil springs has been flagged every single year since 2022. In 2025, the tester identified corrosion on both the rear springs and the offside front spring, which represents a structural risk that could lead to failure. The braking system also shows a history of neglect, with a binding rear service brake noted in 2024 and pitted, scored discs on both front and rear axles by the most recent test. Physical inspection should verify if the corroded springs have been replaced and if the brake calipers are seizing from low use-related surface pitting. The deteriorated headlamp lenses and registration plates are minor cosmetic concerns that suggest a general lack of attention to vehicle presentation.
