2009 Hyundai I10 1.1L Petrol · LD59 ULZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of deferred repairs regarding rubber-based components. The most recent test in October 2025 at 61,534 miles resulted in a pass only two miles after a failure caused by a defective wiper blade and position lamp. While the immediate failure points were rectified, the presence of a worn offside front upper Macpherson strut bush and perishing front tyres indicates that the owner only addresses faults when they result in an MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging only approximately 3,600 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between August 2024 (55,880 miles) and October 2025 (61,532 miles), where only 652 miles were covered in over fourteen months. This low-frequency use explains the recurring degradation noted in the record, specifically the cracking and perishing of tyres across four consecutive years, which often occurs due to age and UV exposure rather than mileage-related tread wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and chassis components. The record shows a persistent issue with corrosion on the rear coil springs dating back to 2022, alongside a new advisory for a worn Macpherson strut bush in 2025. These areas should be checked for structural integrity of the sills and mounting points, given the history of surface corrosion. Furthermore, the pitted front brake discs noted in 2023 suggest the braking system may be prone to rust during long periods of inactivity, necessitating a check of the caliper hardware for seized pistons or excessive play.
