2008 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · KP58 FNU

The most recent MOT test on 10 March 2026 shows a pass, but the vehicle exhibits a worsening trend regarding component degradation. The record shows a failure on 4 March 2026 due to major defects in both nearside and offside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust covers, alongside significantly worn rear brake discs. While the vehicle passed the subsequent retest, the March 2026 advisory list indicates several ongoing issues, including corroded nearside rear coil springs, a perishing nearside rear tyre sidewall, and pitted or scored brake discs on both the front and rear axles. The vehicle has covered 87,894 miles over its 18-year lifespan, averaging approximately 4,883 miles per year. This represents low annual mileage for a vehicle of this age. The MOT history provided covers the period from March 2024 to March 2026, showing consistent annual testing. There are no gaps in the recent testing cycle, though the low mileage may correlate with the observed perishing of the nearside rear tyre sidewall seen in the March 2026 advisory. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The records show recurring issues with coil spring corrosion, which was first flagged in March 2024 and remains an advisory in March 2026. The recent failure of the suspension arm ball joint dust covers suggests that further deterioration of the steering and suspension geometry may be imminent. The repeated advisories regarding pitted and scored brake discs indicate that the braking surfaces are reaching the end of their serviceable life. The presence of multiple advisories concerning tyres, brakes, and suspension components suggests that while the vehicle meets minimum legal standards, several mechanical repairs will likely be required in the near future. The tester flagged both structural corrosion on the springs and consumable wear on the discs and tyres. These issues should be verified in person to determine the extent of the metal degradation and the remaining tread depth on all tyres. buying_score: 45 risk_level: High.
