2014 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · NG63 USW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding deferred brake components and rubber parts. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 16,330 miles passed, the tester flagged perishing on all four tyres and pitted rear brake discs. This follows a recurring pattern of deteriorating rear brake hardware noted in 2024 and 2025, indicating that these components are suffering from age and surface corrosion rather than mechanical wear. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging only 1,361 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 2,576 miles between February 2024 and February 2025, which suggests the car may have sat for extended periods. This low-usage pattern explains the specific age-related failures, such as the damaged inner steering rack gaiter identified in 2025 and the cracking tyres noted in 2026, as rubber components tend to dry out and perish when a vehicle is not regularly driven. A buyer must prioritise inspecting the rear braking system, as the persistent pitting and scoring on the discs across three consecutive years suggest they are due for replacement. The steering rack gaiter flagged in 2025 requires close physical inspection to ensure no grit has entered the internal steering mechanism. Furthermore, given the low mileage and the reports of perishing rubber, a thorough check of tyre sidewalls and various suspension bushes is necessary to prevent sudden structural failure caused by long-term stagnation.
