2023 Hyundai I10 Premium MPI Auto 1.2L Petrol · HT23 UDW

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 30 July 2026, although this followed a failure just three days prior. The failure was attributed to a major defect involving an inoperative parking brake on the offside, which indicates a mechanical fault within the braking system or a seized caliper. While the issue was rectified quickly to achieve a pass, the emergence of a major braking fault alongside a tyre advisory suggests that the vehicle's maintenance trend is beginning to slip as it moves out of its initial warranty period. With a recorded mileage of 21,037 miles over approximately three years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 7,012 miles per year. This represents a typical usage profile for a city car of this specification, suggesting a balanced blend of urban and occasional longer journeys. There is no evidence of excessive wear associated with high mileage, nor are there the typical risks associated with long periods of standing, such as perished seals or battery degradation. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the recent parking brake failure. It is essential to verify that the repair involved a permanent fix, such as a caliper replacement or cable adjustment, rather than a superficial correction. During the test drive, the parking brake should be tested on a gradient to ensure it holds the vehicle securely without slipping. Furthermore, the advisory regarding the offside rear tyre being worn on the edge is a significant indicator of potential wheel misalignment. You should inspect the tyre for uneven tread wear and consider a professional four-wheel alignment to prevent the rapid deterioration of any newly fitted tyres. Beyond the MOT history, a thorough inspection of the service book is required to ensure that calendar-based maintenance and oil changes have been performed regardless of the mileage. Check the brake discs for any uneven scoring or heavy corrosion that may have resulted from the parking brake issue. The automatic transmission should be evaluated for smooth gear transitions without shuddering or hesitation. Finally, examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for any signs of premature wear or leakage to ensure the chassis remains in a condition consistent with its relatively low mileage.
