2014 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · NG63 USZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in October 2025 at 79,187 miles resulted in a minor advisory for a slightly distorted nearside road wheel. This follows a clean pass in October 2024, suggesting that the mechanical condition has stabilized recently after a period of multiple failures recorded between 2021 and 2023. The mileage progression remains consistent with a low-use profile, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. Between the 2021 test at 59,723 miles and the 2025 test at 79,187 miles, the car covered 19,464 miles over four years. While this low annual mileage limits the overall wear on the drivetrain and engine, the gaps between services can sometimes lead to the undetected degradation of rubber-based components and the accumulation of surface corrosion, which is evident in the suspension faults noted in the older records. A buyer should focus specifically on the front suspension and steering assembly due to recurring issues in these areas. The 2021 record flagged play in the steering rack inner joints and a deteriorated ball joint dust cover, while the 2022 test identified play in the nearside ball joint and a corroded offside coil spring. Although these appear to have been addressed, the frequency of these faults suggests the front end components are prone to wear. An inspection should ensure no new play has developed. The braking and tyre history also shows a trend of neglect. The 2021 test noted thin front pads and pitted discs, and the 2022 and 2023 tests both flagged tyres worn to the legal limit with uneven edges. The uneven wear often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to prevent premature scrubbing. The current advisory for a distorted road wheel should also be checked to ensure it does not cause vibration at motorway speeds or affect the steering geometry.
