2017 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · HT17 AAX

The 2017 HYUNDAI I10’s most recent MOT on 2026-06-23 was passed despite recurring issues with the rear brake discs, which have been flagged as worn, pitted, or scored in every test since 2023. The front windscreen washer failure in 2026-06-22 and the persistent tyre pressure warning light suggest unresolved mechanical or sensor-related faults. While the vehicle meets roadworthiness standards at present, the repeated brake disc deterioration indicates a stable but concerning trend requiring immediate attention. The absence of structural or critical safety defects in recent tests does not eliminate the risk of progressive wear on braking components. The mileage of 12,735 miles aligns with a low-usage pattern, averaging 1,415 miles annually since registration. MOT records show consistent intervals between tests, with no abrupt spikes in mileage that might indicate sudden heavy use. The 2025-07-28 MOT noted a TPMS fault, which could correlate with the recurring tyre pressure warning light. This low-mileage history may reflect periods of inactivity or minimal driving, potentially delaying wear on critical systems but also delaying necessary maintenance. The brake system demands urgent inspection, as the rear discs have failed or shown deterioration in four consecutive MOTs. A buyer should verify the condition of the brake discs, pads, and calipers, particularly for signs of corrosion or uneven wear. The tyre pressure warning light and TPMS fault history warrant checking the sensor functionality and actual tyre pressures. Additionally, the recurring issue with fitted covers over brake pipes during inspections limits diagnostic clarity, necessitating a thorough visual and mechanical assessment of the braking assembly. Given the persistent brake disc issues and intermittent electrical faults, a prospective buyer must prioritize a hands-on evaluation of the suspension components for wear, such as bushes or coil springs, and a comprehensive brake system test. The low mileage does not negate the need to inspect for corrosion or structural damage, especially in areas prone to rust given the vehicle’s age. Addressing these mechanical concerns proactively will determine the car’s long-term reliability.
