2009 Hyundai I10 1.1L Petrol · KM09 UDZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing mechanical wear and deferred attention. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 140,963 miles passed, it introduced new advisories for front Macpherson strut bush wear and a front oil leak. This follows a persistent engine oil leak that was noted during the December 2024 test, suggesting that while the leak is not yet excessive enough to fail, it is a recurring issue that requires monitoring. At 140,963 miles over 17 years, the Hyundai has averaged approximately 8,300 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-mile urban usage patterns. The data shows consistent use between test intervals, with roughly 12,000 miles covered between November 2023 and December 2024, and another 12,500 miles covered in the following eleven-month period. This steady accumulation indicates the car is used regularly, but the high total mileage places significant stress on aging drivetrain components and rubber seals beyond age-related degradation. A buyer must inspect the engine bay to assess the severity of the ongoing oil leak, as it has appeared in three consecutive testing cycles. The suspension requires a close look because the record flagged a lower suspension arm ball joint in 2023 and worn Macpherson strut bushes in 2025. The buyer should also verify the parking brake performance, as the 2023 failure for low efficiency and the thin front brake pads indicate that braking components are only addressed when they approach failure rather than through proactive maintenance.
