2009 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · MA09 FUG

The 2009 Hyundai I10 has a recent MOT result from 2026-03-03, recorded at 95,498 miles, which shows a PASS but with noted defects. These include slight play in the nearside front track rod end ball joint (2.1.3 (b) (i)) and a damaged offside front lower steering linkage ball joint dust cover (2.1.3 (g) (i)). However, the same date also lists a FAILED MOT with identical issues, plus both front tyres below the 1.6mm legal tread depth (5.2.3 (e)). This inconsistency suggests potential administrative errors or overlapping test records, but the vehicle’s current status remains unclear. Recurring mechanical patterns include tyre wear and steering component degradation . Front tyres have repeatedly been near or below legal limits since 2025, indicating possible neglect or uneven wear. Steering linkage ball joint issues (track rod end and lower steering linkage) have persisted across multiple MOTs, raising concerns about alignment or suspension integrity. Corrosion and wear on rear components, such as corroded coil springs (5.3.1 (b) (i)) and excessively corroded brake pipes (1.1.11 (c)), also appear in older records, suggesting long-term exposure to harsh conditions or poor maintenance. The trend shows no clear improvement in critical areas. While the latest MOT was a PASS, the same issues resurfaced, and tyre tread depth remains a recurring failure.
