2015 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · LP64 JSU

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance record shows a worsening trend regarding the braking system. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 67,645 miles flagged binding issues on both the nearside and offside front service brakes, this represents a progression from the December 2024 test where only the offside front was affected. This persistence suggests a developing mechanical issue rather than an isolated incident of component wear. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old city car, averaging approximately 6,150 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between December 2022 and January 2024, during which the vehicle covered 4,887 miles. Since then, the usage has remained steady, with roughly 14,000 miles recorded over the last three years. This low annual mileage often reduces the overall wear on drivetrain components, but it can also lead to internal corrosion and brake seizing if the vehicle is not driven frequently. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the front brake assembly to identify the cause of the recurring binding faults. The tester's notes point toward either seized caliper pistons, corroded slider pins, or uneven pad wear against the discs. Given that the issue has persisted across three consecutive tests, a technician should check for excessive scoring on the rotors or heat discoloration that might indicate the calipers are failing to. Additionally, the suspension bushes and exhaust structural integrity should be verified, although no structural defects have been noted in the history to date.
