2015 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · HF65 JEO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 114,132 miles identified several areas of concern, including thin offside rear brake pads, a badly worn offside front tyre, and an oil leak originating from the pressure switch. While the car passed, these recurring defects suggest that the previous owner only addresses components once they reach an MOT failure threshold rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. At 114,132 miles over 11 years, the Hyundai averages approximately 10,300 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a small city car. The mileage data shows consistent usage, with roughly 12,500 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 11,400 miles in the year leading up to the February 2026 test. This regularity suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which explains the consistent wear on rubber and friction components noted throughout the record. A buyer must pay close attention to the braking system and suspension, as thin brake pads have appeared in three of the last four tests. The tester flagged thinning pads in February 2024, 2025, and 2026, indicating a persistent failure to monitor brake life. Additionally, the failure of the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage in 2025 highlights that the suspension components are beginning to degrade at this mileage. A physical inspection should check for perished rubber boots and any play in the steering geometry. The oil leak from the pressure switch noted in the 2026 record requires immediate verification to ensure it is a simple seal failure and not a deeper engine issue. Given the history of worn tyres reaching legal limits in both 2024 and 2026, the buyer should evaluate the remaining tread and quality of all four tyres. While there are no mentions of structural corrosion in the MOT history, the recurring mechanical minor-wear and tear suggests the vehicle will require a comprehensive service to remain in reliable condition.
