2009 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · MT59 ACO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 10 June 2026 at 38,745 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the most recent failure involved a minor electrical issue regarding a blown nearside front position lamp which was rectified immediately for the pass. While the car currently holds a clean certificate, the history indicates a vehicle that is subject to reactive maintenance rather than proactive servicing, particularly regarding mechanical components. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,279 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap in usage between September 2024 and June 2025, where the car covered only 1,028 miles over nine months. This low-use pattern suggests the vehicle likely sits for long periods. In cars of this age, such infrequent use often leads to the degradation of rubber components and the seizing of moving parts rather than wear and tear on the drivetrain. A buyer must pay close attention to the braking system due to the failure in June 2025 where all four service brakes were flagged as excessively binding, preventing a full performance test. This condition often indicates seized calipers or perished brake hoses caused by long periods of inactivity. A physical inspection should check for uneven pad wear on the discs and ensure that the brake pistons are not sticking again. Given the age and low mileage, the inspector should also check for cracking in the tyres and perished perished suspension bushes, as these materials degrade over time regardless of the miles driven.
