2016 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · MP65 ATX

A recurring pattern of tyre wear and rear brake disc corrosion defines the mechanical history of this vehicle, which passed its most recent test on 29 December 2025 with an advisory for an inner-edge worn offside front tyre. The record shows a trend of repeated tyre-related advisories and a failure in January 2025 due to a non-functional stop lamp, alongside a previous failure in January 2023 for windscreen washer operation. The recorded mileage of 32,289 miles represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 3,229 miles, which is significantly lower than typical UK usage for a ten-year-old vehicle. This low-intensity usage pattern is reflected in the MOT history, specifically the repeated flagging of pitted rear brake discs between 2022 and 2023, a condition often associated with vehicles that spend extended periods stationary or undergo infrequent heavy braking. Attention should be directed toward the rear suspension and tyre condition. A nearside rear shock absorber was recorded as misting oil in early 2025, which may lead to reduced damping efficiency. During a test drive, the buyer should feel for excessive bouncing or instability at the rear of the vehicle when traversing uneven surfaces. The persistent advisories regarding inner-edge tyre wear on the front axle suggest a potential misalignment of the steering geometry, which should be verified by checking for uneven tread depth across the tyre width. The braking system requires specific scrutiny given the history of pitted rear discs. While these were recorded as advisories, the buyer should listen for any grinding noises or feel for pulsations through the brake pedal during deceleration. Additionally, the mention of cracking or perishing on the offside rear tyre in January 2025 indicates that rubber components may be aging regardless of the low mileage, necessitating a physical inspection of all tyre sidewalls for visible weather-checking or cracks.
