2010 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · ML10 ANP

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of deferred attention regarding the braking system. The most recent test in April 2026 at 72,381 miles shows the car passed with advisories for an inoperative number plate lamp and perished offside rear tyre. More critically, the parking brake efficiency has marginally met the legal threshold for three consecutive years, indicating that the mechanical adjustment is reaching the limit of its operational range without being properly overhauled. The mileage profile is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. There is a significant gap in the records between November 2021 and January 2023, during which the car covered 2,586 miles. While low mileage generally suggests less wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often leads to degradation of rubber components and seals, which is evidenced by the cracking tyre noted in 2026 and the deteriorated driver's door hinge flagged in 2024. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the rear braking assembly. The record shows a binding nearside service brake in 2023 and 2024, followed by marginal parking brake performance through 2026. This suggests a seized caliper slider or corroded wheel cylinder that requires professional attention rather than simple adjustment. The buyer should also check the driver's door hinge for structural rust and verify all tyres for sidewall cracking, as the low-usage pattern has likely caused components to age faster than they have worn down.
