2014 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · RO64 UVP

The most recent MOT, conducted on 20 September 2025 at 54,366 miles, resulted in a pass, but the tester flagged an Offside Front brake pipe presenting corrosion beneath accumulated grease or contamination. This is a notable finding. Brake pipe corrosion is a progressive structural risk that compromises hydraulic integrity and is not a consumable wear item. The maintenance trend over the last five years is broadly stable, with only minor advisories recorded annually, yet the appearance of this corrosion at the latest test suggests a potential shift toward deteriorating underbody protection or prolonged moisture exposure. The vehicle has not been presented for a test since September 2025, meaning there is a gap of approximately nine months without a fresh roadworthiness snapshot as of today, 18 June 2026. The mileage profile tells a specific story. Between the September 2021 test at 31,846 miles and the September 2025 test at 54,366 miles, the car covered 22,520 miles in four years, averaging roughly 5,630 miles per annum. This is slightly above the overall lifetime average of approximately 4,530 miles per year, indicating a modest increase in usage during the latter period. The annual tests from 2021 through 2025 show consistent, incremental mileage gains without any suspicious gaps or sudden jumps, suggesting regular rather than sporadic use. No test was recorded in 2020, which may reflect the COVID MOT extension that year, a common pattern for vehicles of this era. The recurring advisory theme across this record is brake system wear and deterioration. Front brake pads were flagged as wearing thin in September 2022 at 38,319 miles, with the front brake discs also noted as worn, pitted, or scored at that same test. Rear brake pads received a similar thin-wear advisory in September 2024 at 50,395 miles. These are expected consumable items on a city car, but the pattern indicates the braking system has required attention at roughly two-year intervals. More critically, the corroded offside front brake pipe identified in September 2025 introduces a structural concern beyond routine wear. Corrosion on brake lines can be superficial or deeply penetrating, and the fact it was noted beneath grease suggests the area may have been coated or contaminated, potentially masking the true extent of deterioration. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough underbody inspection, paying close attention to the condition of all brake pipes, particularly the offside front line, along with the general state of the exhaust system, subframe mounting points, and suspension bushes for corrosion or perishing. The low annual mileage and consistent test history suggest a well-used but not abused vehicle, yet the corroded brake pipe advisory warrants immediate professional assessment before any purchase commitment.
