2010 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · ML10 ANX

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a trend of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test in March 2023 at 103,615 miles, the failure immediately preceding that pass revealed multiple critical issues including structural tyre failure and lighting defects. The persistence of general underbody and suspension corrosion across several years indicates that the structural integrity of the chassis is actively degrading and has not been adequately addressed by the previous owners. At 16 years old, the mileage of 103,615 miles represents an annual average of approximately 6,476 miles, which is consistent with light city usage patterns. However, the data shows a significant gap in testing, with the last recorded MOT occurring in March 2023. Given the current date of June 2026, the vehicle has operated without a valid safety certificate for over three years. This lapse of oversight, combined with the age of the vehicle, suggests that rubber components, fluid lines, and seals have likely deteriorated beyond the state recorded in earlier tests. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the undercarriage to assess the extent of the reported corrosion. The tester previously flagged a corroded offside rear brake pipe covered in grease, which is a common tactic used to hide significant rust or leaking. Specific attention should be paid to the suspension bushes, mounting points, and exhaust hangers, as the record notes general underbody corrosion as a recurring theme. Furthermore, the history of structural tyre failure and perishing in 2023 suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for long periods, necessitating a full check of all age-related rubber components for cracking or dry rot.
