2010 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · LT10 YAO

The vehicle appears to be in a stable condition following a successful MOT on 25 November 2025 at 58,882 miles. This pass follows a failure just one day prior, where the tester flagged several issues including worn offside front upper anti-roll bar linkage ball joints and a compromised nearside suspension arm ball joint dust cover. The rapid rectification of these suspension components and the windscreen washer issues suggests the owner is responsive to immediate mechanical requirements. The mileage history indicates a very low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 3,680 miles per year since its first recorded test in 2014. The progression from 7,909 miles in February 2014 to 58,882 miles in November 2025 shows a consistent, gradual increase. However, the low annual mileage may explain certain recurring issues. For instance, the 2022 test at 29,876 miles noted perishing tyre sidewalls, and the 2024 test at 46,792 miles flagged binding brakes on both the offside front and rear. These are typical symptoms of a vehicle that sits idle for extended periods, allowing rubber to degrade and brake components to seize or corrode. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension system to ensure the ball joints and dust covers replaced in late 2025 are holding up well. Given the history of binding brakes in 2024 and the low usage pattern, a test drive is necessary to check for smooth braking performance and to ensure no calipers are sticking. The tyres should also be scrutinized for age-related cracking or perishing, as the record shows a long-term trend of tyre-related failures and advisories dating back to 2015. While the recent MOT was clean, the low mileage means the vehicle's mechanical health relies heavily on how well it has been maintained during periods of inactivity.
