2017 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · HT17 AAU

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean inspections to recurring reactive component replacement. The most recent test in May 2026 at 50,497 miles flagged a non-excessive oil leak and both front tyres reaching the legal limit. This oil leak first appeared in the 2025 test at 44,157 miles, indicating a persistent issue that has not been addressed or rectified over the last two testing cycles. The mileage profile is consistently low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. Data shows a steady increase in usage, moving from 24,902 miles in May 2021 to 50,497 miles in May 2026. While low mileage generally suggests less strain on the drivetrain, the record reveals that the car has sat for long periods or suffered from environmental neglect, as evidenced by the frequent advisories for tyre-related wear and corrosion on brake components despite the relatively short travel intervals. A buyer must scrutinise the braking system, as the record shows a history of pitted and scored rear discs in 2022 and 2023, alongside a binding nearside rear caliper in 2023. The recurring nature of thin pads and worn tyres suggests owners replace parts upon failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The persistent oil leak noted in the last two years requires a physical inspection to determine if it originates from a simple gasket or a more significant seal failure that could lead to engine degradation. The tyres also show a pattern of uneven wear and premature thinning, with multiple failures flagged between 2020, 2023, and 2026. This often points to alignment issues or incorrect inflation pressures. While the structural integrity appears uncompromised by the data, the mechanical history indicates a vehicle that has been maintained to the minimum standard to remain legal on the road.
