2018 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · LF18 EWH

Recurring issues with braking components and tyre condition define the mechanical profile of this vehicle, which most recently passed its MOT on 13 November 2025. While the vehicle has maintained a passing status since a dangerous failure in 2021, the record shows a persistent trend of advisories regarding rear brake disc deterioration and tyre wear. The most recent inspection flagged pitted or scored rear brake discs and a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit, suggesting that while major safety defects are being addressed, the consumable components are frequently approaching the end of their serviceable life. The vehicle has covered 86,965 miles over its eight-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 10,871 miles. This usage pattern is consistent with typical UK driving cycles and suggests a regular level of road use rather than long periods of inactivity. Mechanically, this steady mileage implies a predictable rate of wear on suspension bushes, braking systems, and drivetrain components, though the MOT history confirms that the braking system and tyres are subject to regular scrutiny due to wear. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the braking system during a test drive, specifically focusing on the rear discs which have been flagged as pitted or scored in both 2024 and 2025. Listen for any grinding noises when applying the brakes or feel for any pulsations or judder through the brake pedal, which could indicate further disc deterioration or binding calipers. The history of a dangerous failure in 2021 due to critically thin front brake pads and severely lipped discs means the entire braking assembly should be inspected for consistency in wear across all four wheels. Tyre condition and seat belt integrity also require physical verification. Given the recent advisory for a nearside front tyre worn on the edge and previous failures regarding mismatched tyre sizes and cuts reaching the cords, the tread depth and sidewall integrity of all four tyres should be checked against legal limits. Additionally, the advisory from November 2025 regarding frayed nearside front seat belt webbing necessitates a physical inspection to ensure the webbing is not compromised, as this is a critical safety component.
