2015 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · LP15 CVO

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-15 identified multiple issues, including a defective offside front windscreen wiper blade, a deformed nearside vehicle structure (outer sill), a deteriorated anti-roll bar linkage dust cover, and worn rear brake discs. These defects suggest ongoing mechanical and structural concerns, with the structural deformation recurring from the 2024 MOT. The brake disc wear and wiper blade defect indicate potential neglect or accelerated wear in critical safety components. Recurring issues include the nearside vehicle structure deformation, which was first noted in 2024 and reappeared in 2026. This raises questions about the vehicle’s history, as structural damage can compromise safety even if rigidity remains intact. Brake-related defects also persist, with rear disc wear recorded in 2026 and thin front brake pads in 2025. These patterns suggest gradual deterioration in braking systems, possibly linked to low-mileage usage or inconsistent maintenance. The vehicle’s mileage of 65,851 miles over 11 years equates to approximately 5,986 miles annually, which is below average for its age. This could imply lighter use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which might lead to component stiffness, fluid degradation, or rubber part aging. However, the low mileage does not fully explain the recurring structural and brake issues, which may point to prior accidents or suboptimal maintenance.
