2009 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · LC59 VNT

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history shows a clear trend of age-related degradation despite low usage. The most recent test in April 2026 at 10,381 miles passed, but the tester flagged both front tyres for perishing and cracking. This follows a recurring issue noted in 2024 where the car failed initially on the same tyre condition and failed stop lamps, indicating that the rubber components are failing due to age rather than tread wear. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 611 miles per year. Between 2012 and 2021, the car covered only 2,447 miles, suggesting long periods of stationary or minimal use. A significant spike in activity occurred between 2021 and 2026, where the vehicle clocked 6,306 miles in five years. While this low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often leads to the oxidation of fluids and the brittleness of rubber seals. A buyer must prioritize inspecting the physical condition of all tyres, as the record confirms a consistent history of sidewall cracking over the last four years. Because the car has sat for long intervals, a thorough check is required for brake corrosion on the discs and seized calipers, which are common in low-use vehicles. The chassis should also be inspected for surface rust, as low-mileage cars often do not benefit from the airflow that keeps underbody components dry.
