2014 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · NG63 USX

The vehicle passed its most recent inspection on 28 May 2026 at 62,290 miles, yet the maintenance trend shows signs of returning corrosion issues. While the June 2025 test resulted in a clean pass, the latest certificate lists advisories for a corroded nearside front brake pipe and a slightly damaged nearside rear tyre. This shift indicates that while the car is currently roadworthy, underlying degradation is progressing. Usage has been consistently low, averaging roughly 5,200 miles per year over the vehicle's 12-year lifespan. The odometer increased by only 1,921 miles between the June 2025 and May 2026 tests, confirming minimal annual travel. Such low mileage often accelerates perishing of rubber components and encourages corrosion in brake lines due to infrequent use rather than mechanical wear. Scrutiny of the braking system is essential given the history of corroded pipes. The car failed twice in June 2023 specifically for corroded rear brake pipes, and the recent advisory on the front pipe suggests this issue is systemic rather than isolated. You should inspect the entire brake line network for flaking metal or compromised grease coating, particularly along the undercarriage where moisture collects. Suspension and tyre condition also warrant a detailed physical check. The 2023 failures recorded deteriorated dust covers on the front suspension arm ball joints and a nearside front tyre with a cut reaching the cords. The current advisory for a cracking rear tyre further highlights that rubber components are degrading faster than the mechanical parts, likely due to the vehicle standing idle for extended periods.
