2009 Hyundai I10 1.1L Petrol · KM09 UDU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 76,229 miles passed, it carried several critical advisories regarding tyre wear and coil spring corrosion. This follows a significant failure in September 2024 where the car was rejected for leaking shock absorbers and poor braking performance. The data suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they reach a point of failure during the MOT inspection. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 76,229 miles represents a low average of approximately 4,484 miles per year. This low usage profile often leads to age-related degradation of rubber and metal rather than mechanical wear and tear. Between September 2023 and September 2024, the vehicle covered only 7,789 miles, yet it suffered from multiple major rear brake and suspension failures. The low mileage does not protect the vehicle from the effects of time, which is evident in the recurring issues with the rear components. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the rear suspension, as the tester flagged corroded coil springs in both 2022 and 2025. Although the shock absorbers were replaced after the 2024 failure, they should be checked for new signs of fluid leakage. The braking system also requires scrutiny; the record shows pitted rear brake discs in 2024 and a brake slack adjuster that needed adjustment as of late 2025. The front tyres are consistently noted as being near the legal limit or worn on the edges, indicating that replacement is likely imminent.
