2009 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · LS59 HFK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having achieved a clean MOT pass in March 2026 at 63,823 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a reactive rather than proactive approach. While the most recent test is clear, previous history reveals a pattern of addressing critical safety items only after they fail or become an advisory. This suggests the owner performs the minimum work required to pass legal testing rather than following scheduled preventative maintenance. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 63,823 miles is significantly low, averaging only approximately 3,754 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-term usage, with only 6,355 miles covered between May 2023 and March 2026. While low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it increases the risk of material degradation in rubber-based components. The 2023 record specifically noted perishing tyres, which is a common symptom of a vehicle that sits stationary for long periods. A buyer must inspect the braking system closely due to recurring issues with brake pad thickness. The May 2025 failure for thin rear brake pads followed a 2024 advisory for thin offside rear pads, indicating a neglect of monitoring consumable components until critical failure. The 2023 report of a low clutch biting point also suggests the clutch may be nearing the end of its service life despite the low mileage. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough physical inspection for structural corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting is essential, as low mileage does not prevent the progression of rust in older Hyundai models.
