2016 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · KX16 YRV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in March 2026 at 68,505 miles flagged two advisories regarding thin offside front brake pads and a deteriorated nearside front inner steering rack gaiter. While the car passed, the emergence of these faults shortly after a clean test suggests that mechanical components are only being addressed when they approach a point of failure or legal threshold. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a decade-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,850 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 58,575 miles in March 2024 to 64,069 miles in March 2025, and reaching 68,505 miles by the March 2026 test. This low-to-moderate usage generally reduces the wear and tear on the drivetrain and engine, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components if the vehicle sits stationary for too long periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension area, particularly the steering rack gaiter mentioned in the March 2026 record. A damaged gaiter allows steering fluid to escape or grit to enter, which will lead to premature and expensive rack failure. Additionally, the history shows a pattern of brake-related issues, including a 2024 failure for worn rear brake discs and the 2026 advisory for thin front pads. A thorough physical inspection must verify the remaining thickness of all brake pads and check the discs for signs of pitting or thinning to ensure the previous repairs were completed effectively.
