2013 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · MW13 WLX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding brake system degradation. While it passed the most recent test in October 2025 at 41,612 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior due to multiple critical defects. The tester identified extensive corrosion across both front and rear brake pipes, alongside worn front brake discs and thin pads. The recurring nature of corroded brake lines over three years suggests that these issues are only being addressed when they cause failure rather than through proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,200 miles per year. There is a significant gap of nearly 10,000 miles between July 2023 and October 2024, and another 8,000 miles leading into the 2025 test. This low usage explains the persistent perishing of rubber components, such as the cracking tyres and deactivating washer pump noted in multiple records, as materials often degrade due to age and lack of regular use rather than mechanical wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the entire brake line and connections, as the record shows a systemic failure of metal piping near the flexi hoses. The presence of grease on the offside front brake pipe noted in 2025 indicates a previous attempt to mask surface corrosion. Additionally, the condition of the tyres should be checked for deep sidewall cracking, as the history shows a consistent pattern of structural tyre failure due to age. The windscreen should also be verified to ensure the damage reported in 2025 has not worsened or been poorly repaired.
