2013 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · OV13 TFN

The vehicle shows a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean pass in the most recent October 2025 test at 48,293 miles. While the vehicle has experienced several failures, these appear to be related to minor electrical issues and consumable wear rather than systemic mechanical failure. The October 2025 failure involved inoperative position and registration lamps alongside corrosion on both the offside and nearside rear brake pipes. The subsequent pass suggests the owner addressed these specific items, including the brake pipe condition, which is a critical area for long-term structural integrity. The mileage history indicates very low annual usage, averaging approximately 3,700 miles per year over its thirteen-year lifespan. This pattern is evident in the jump from 15,442 miles in August 2021 to 25,426 miles in September 2022, and again to 36,720 miles in August 2023. Such low usage often correlates with vehicles that spend extended periods stationary. This is supported by the 2017 and 2018 records, where the tester flagged multiple tyres as perished or cracking, a common symptom of age-related rubber degradation in low-mileage vehicles. A prospective buyer should focus physical inspections on the braking system and the underside of the chassis. The 2025 failure specifically highlighted corroded brake pipes, and although these were rectified for the pass, the presence of corrosion on both sides suggests the vehicle may be prone to moisture retention or salt damage. The 2021 record also noted pitted and scored front brake discs alongside thinning pads, indicating that while the car is driven infrequently, the braking components are subject to standard environmental degradation. Electrical reliability also warrants a check. The vehicle has a recurring tendency to fail on minor lighting issues, with failures recorded in August 2024 and October 2025 for inoperative position and registration lamps. While these are simple bulb or fuse replacements, they suggest a pattern of minimal pre-MOT preparation by previous owners. Checking the condition of all exterior lighting and ensuring the wiper blades and tyres are not perishing due to age will be essential, given the vehicle's history of low-use degradation.
