2022 Hyundai I10 Premium MPI 1.2L Petrol · SA22 VGC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT in March 2026, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning dip in mechanical upkeep. While the car passed its most recent test, the immediate failure on the same day at 19,635 miles indicates significant neglect regarding the braking system and visibility. The transition from a clean record to multiple mechanical failures suggests that faults were only addressed when forced by testing rather than through proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,900 miles per year. Between the March 2025 test at 13,930 miles and the March 2026 test at 19,635 miles, the car covered 5,705 miles. This low-usage pattern often leads to brake corrosion and disc oxidation due to infrequent use, which likely explains the pitting and scoring found on the hardware recorded during the recent failure. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the recent repairs were executed correctly. The March 2026 failure flagged pitting on the front discs and significant wear on the rear discs, alongside overall service brake efficiency below requirements. You should verify that the discs have been replaced with new units and that the calipers are not binding or seized. Additionally, confirm the windscreen wiper blades have been replaced as the previous set failed to clear the glass effectively, ensuring visibility is restored to standard.
