2018 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · NG18 WXM

A pattern of emerging wear on consumables and lighting components emerged during the 2025 MOT, though the vehicle returned to a clean status in its most recent test on 31 July 2026. While the 2025 inspection flagged several advisories regarding brake components and tyre condition, the absence of defects in the 2026 result suggests these specific issues were addressed. The overall trend shows a vehicle that has maintained a relatively consistent roadworthiness profile, with only minor intermittent advisories appearing over the last five years of testing. The recorded mileage of 31,744 miles against an eight-year age profile indicates a low annual usage rate of approximately 3,968 miles. This level of accumulation is significantly lower than the UK average, which typically suggests less frequent mechanical operation of the drivetrain and braking systems. However, such low mileage can also imply longer periods of inactivity, which may lead to the degradation of rubber components and the surface oxidation of metal surfaces, as evidenced by the pitting noted on the rear brake discs in 2025. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system and tyre integrity given the history of advisories. The 2025 record specifically noted thinning front brake pads and worn, pitted rear brake discs. During a test drive, it is essential to check for any pedal judder or vibration under braking, which can indicate disc irregularities, and listen for any squealing or grinding noises that might suggest the pads have not been adequately replaced or are wearing unevenly. Additionally, the 2025 advisory regarding rear tyres being worn close to the legal limit and showing signs of cracking or perishing warrants a physical inspection of the sidewalls and tread depth to ensure no further degradation has occurred. The minor defect regarding a defective offside rear stop lamp lens in 2025 should be verified as rectified, though a simple check of all exterior lighting functions is a necessary precaution. Because the vehicle has been driven lower distances, the mechanical components such as suspension bushes and tyres may be subject to age-related perishing rather than mileage-related wear. On the test drive, pay close attention to any unusual knocks or thuds when traversing uneven surfaces, which could indicate that the low-use pattern has allowed rubber components to harden or perish.
