2014 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · OO04 AAK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its latest test in November 2025 at 87,673 miles, it had failed just five days prior due to multiple defects including lighting, headlamp alignment, and tyre condition. The trend suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical issues once they result in an MOT failure, as evidenced by the recurring failure of basic components across several years. The mileage profile is consistent with a twelve-year-old city car, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between July 2019 and June 2020, where the car covered only 867 miles, but since 2020, the usage has remained steady at roughly 6,000 to 7,000 miles annually. This low annual mileage explains why the primary issues identified are often related to age-related degradation of rubber components rather than high-mile wear. A buyer must specifically inspect the front sub-frame, which was flagged for corrosion in October 2024 at 87,016 miles. Although not marked as seriously weakened at that time, structural rust on a vehicle of this age requires close monitoring for progression. The braking system also shows a history of neglect; the November 2023 failure highlighted a binding rear caliper, imbalanced brakes, and an inoperative parking brake. You should verify that the rear brake assemblies now operate freely and that the parking brake holds effectively. The record also shows a recurring issue with perished tyres, with failures noted in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2025. This indicates the vehicle likely sits for long periods, causing the rubber to crack and degrade. Check the sidewalls of the current tyres for similar cracking and test the headlamp dip and switch function, as these have been points of failure in the past. Given the history of low oil levels and TPMS warnings, a comprehensive service check is essential before purchase.
