2011 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · PY61 CSX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 55,690 miles passed with minor advisories regarding a defective wiper blade, a nail in the tyre, and a non-excessive oil leak, the history shows a significant failure in October 2024. The interval between these tests suggests that the owner only addresses major mechanical issues once they reach the point of inspection failure. At 55,690 miles over 15 years, this Hyundai i10 has averaged approximately 3,713 miles per year. This low usage often preserves the engine and drivetrain components, but it can lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts. The record shows a consistent usage pattern between February 2023 and September 2025, where the car covered roughly 9,720 miles in thirty-two months. The 4,635-mile gap between the October 2024 and 2025 tests is consistent with the overall low-mileage profile. A buyer must inspect the front suspension assembly closely, as the October 2024 failure identified perished ball joint dust covers on both front lower arms. While these were seemingly repaired to achieve a pass, the ingress of dirt into the joints can accelerate wear if not fully replaced. The previous failure regarding significantly worn inner faces on the front brake discs indicates that the braking system was neglected until it reached a critical threshold. Verification of the current disc thickness and the presence of any binding in the calipers is necessary. The oil leak noted in the September 2025 test requires a physical inspection under the chassis. Although the tester deemed it not excessive, it is vital to determine if the leak originates from a simple cover gasket or a more significant oil line failure. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, check for surface corrosion on the sills and exhaust heat shields, as low-mileage cars that sit stationary are often more prone to oxidation than those driven regularly.
