2014 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · NG14 AAV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift towards developing braking system issues. In the most recent test in July 2025 at 45,851 miles, the tester identified thin front brake pads and a minor binding front caliper. This represents a progression from the July 2024 test where pitted and scored brake discs were noted, indicating that the braking assembly is now requiring attention. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year. Between 2021 and 2023, the car maintained a clean record with no recorded defects across roughly 7,800 miles. However, the 4,500 miles covered between June 2023 and July 2024 coincided with the first appearance of mechanical advisories, suggesting that the low-use pattern of which often leads to age-related degradation of components rather than mechanical wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking hardware to ensure the binding condition does not lead to more costly caliper failure. The 2024 advisory regarding a perished nearside front tyre suggests rubber components may be suffering from dry-rot due to low use and age. You should also check the suspension bushes and exhaust mounts for cracking, as low-mileage vehicles that sit for long periods often experience more material fatigue than their frequently driven counterparts.
