2009 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · LT59 GOP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a trend of deferred minor repairs. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 36,808 miles, it failed the initial presentation that same day for multiple defects. The transition from a clean record in 2023 to a multi-point failure in 2025 suggests that the owner is only addressing mechanical issues when prompted by an MOT failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 36,808 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 2,165 miles per year. This low usage pattern explains the lack of mechanical wear on the drivetrain, but it introduces risks associated with age-related degradation. The gap of 1,868 miles between the October 2024 and 2025 tests confirms the vehicle sits for long periods, which is consistent with the perishing and cracking noted on the tyres—a classic symptom of rubber components oxidizing while stationary for extended durations regardless of remaining tread depth. A buyer must inspect the front suspension components closely, as the 2025 test flagged both front upper Macpherson strut pins and bushes as worn. Although these did not result in excessive movement at the time, the wear on both sides indicates the rubber components are reaching the end of life. Also verify the condition of all four tyres, as the record specifically notes cracking and perishing on the nearside rear and offside front. Given the low mileage, a check for brake caliper seizing and brake disc corrosion is also essential, as infrequently used vehicles often suffer from surface rust that can lead to structural pitting.
