2014 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · MT64 KXP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. While the most recent test in November 2024 at 130,008 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure for nearside front tyre wear and insufficient washer fluid. This suggests the owner only addresses mechanical defects when prompted by an MOT MOT failure, rather than performing routine preventative checks on consumables. At 130,008 miles over 12 years, the Hyundai i10 averages approximately 10,834 miles per year, which aligns closely with the national average for a small city car. The record shows consistent usage, with a 5,735-mile gap between October 2022 and October 2023, and another 5,274 miles covered between October 2023 and November 2024. This steady mileage accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly, which generally helps prevent the issues associated with long periods of standing. A buyer must specifically scrutinise the braking system and electronic safety modules. The October 2023 failure at 124,831 miles highlighted thin front brake pads and worn rear pads, alongside critical faults in both the ABS and electronic stability control systems. Although the car passed the following year, the previous presence of electronic-related faults necessitates a thorough check to ensure the sensors or modules are not intermittently failing. Furthermore, the uneven wear noted on the nearside front tyre in late 2024 indicates a potential alignment issue or a worn suspension bushing that requires professional attention to prevent rapid tyre degradation. Given the high mileage and history of brake component issues, a physical inspection of the brake discs and suspension integrity is essential to ensure no further mechanical components are nearing the end of their service life.
