2016 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · RA66 OFH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a recent decline in mechanical oversight followed by reactive repairs. While it passed its most recent test in February 2026 at 39,648 miles, this followed two consecutive failures within the same month. The trend suggests a reactive maintenance approach where faults are only addressed once they cause a legal test failure, rather than performing preventative checks between intervals. At 39,648 miles, this ten-year-old i10 has covered significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. This low usage typically results in less wear on drivetrain and engine components, but the data shows a cluster of age-related issues. Between February 2024 (35,715 miles) and February 2025 (38,057 miles), the car covered only 2,342 miles. Such patterns of long stationary periods or very short trips can often lead to the degradation of rubber seals and the seizing of hydraulic components. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the rear braking system. The failure in mid-February 2026 identified a leaking nearside rear hydraulic brake caliper, contaminated pads, and an inoperative parking brake. While these were rectified for the subsequent pass, the buyer should verify that the caliper was actually replaced rather than merely bled, ensuring no fluid leaks persist. The record also noted imbalanced brakes across the rear axle, which indicates potential uneven wear or sticking pistons within the braking mechanism. The interior and visibility components also require attention. Multiple failures related to damaged seat belt stalks, frayed webbing, and unsecure rear seat backrests indicate that the cabin hardware has been neglected. The recurring failure of wiper blades across three different tests suggests that basic consumables are only replaced when they fail completely. Inspect the structural integrity of the seat mechanisms and ensure all seat belt buckles lock securely and retract freely without fraying.
