2016 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · NX16 WHM

The 2016 Hyundai i10 presents a mixed maintenance picture at its most recent MOT on 24 September 2025, when it passed at 67,254 miles. The overall trend for the rear braking system is clearly worsening. A clean bill of health in September 2022 at 59,450 miles gave way to binding rear brakes in September 2023 at 61,166 miles, then advisories for worn rear discs in both September 2024 and September 2025. The progression from a functional binding condition to scored and pitted discs suggests the original fault was not rectified promptly, accelerating wear on friction components. The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the rear brake assembly demands immediate attention. The mileage accumulation is broadly typical for a decade-old city car, averaging roughly 6,700 miles per year. The record shows a steady climb from 49,191 miles in November 2021 to 67,254 miles by September 2025, with no anomalous gaps or sudden jumps that would indicate long-term standing or clocking concerns. The annual test intervals are consistent, and the 2,675-mile increment between the 2024 and 2025 tests suggests continued regular use rather than neglect. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the rear braking system first. The repeated advisories point to potential caliper seizure or sticking slides, so checking caliper operation, disc thickness, and pad condition is essential. The 2023 advisory for mismatched tyre sizes, front to rear, also warrants verification that correct and matching tyres are now fitted, as uneven rolling diameters can affect braking balance and stability. Beyond the brakes, inspect the rear suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, given the age and mileage, and examine the underside for corrosion around mounting points and brake lines.
