2011 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · PX61 TOH

This 2011 Hyundai i10 has a very recent MOT pass from May 22, 2026, which is a good sign. The primary concern from this latest test is the corrosion noted on both rear brake pipes. This is a significant safety issue, and it is new since the previous test a year ago, where only front brake disc wear was flagged. The recurring pattern in this history points to gradual wear on serviceable items like brakes and tyres, which is expected. However, the appearance of corroded brake pipes suggests a worsening trend in a critical safety area, moving beyond simple wear to degradation of components. The car has passed its last five tests, but this latest fault requires immediate attention. The recorded mileage of 62,846 over about 15 years is low, averaging under 4,200 miles per year. This ambiguous signal could mean very light, low-stress use, but it might also indicate long periods of standing, which can accelerate corrosion on underbody components like brake lines and suspension parts. The recent brake pipe corrosion fits with the possibility of issues from under-use or environmental exposure rather than high-mileage wear. The most important check for a buyer is a thorough inspection of the entire brake system.
