2014 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · SD14 NGZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, holding a clean MOT certificate from December 2025 at 80,307 miles. The maintenance trend shows significant improvement following a period of mechanical neglect in early 2024 and 2025. While the car previously struggled with exhaust leaks and braking issues, the most recent test with no recorded defects indicates that the owner has addressed the outstanding faults and brought the vehicle up to standard. At 80,307 miles over twelve years, the Hyundai i10 averages 6,700 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical low-use patterns for city cars. The record shows a notable burst of activity between February 2024 and February 2025, where the vehicle covered over 4,300 miles in twelve months. This suggests the car may have sat stationary for longer periods previously or is now seeing increased use, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and the manifestation of the issues seen in the earlier history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and exhaust assembly, as these were recurring failure points. The February 2024 test flagged a rear brake imbalance that only just met the legal threshold, followed by a failure in the same month due to a significantly worn offside rear disc. While these are now passed, the buyer should verify that the calipers are not binding and that the discs have sufficient remaining thickness. The exhaust flexi-element progressed from a minor to a major leak within a year, which should be checked for signs of heat damage or corrosion around the manifold. The 2024 failure regarding suspension ball joint dust covers indicates a history of perished rubber boots. Although these were reportedly replaced, an inspector should check for any play in the steering or signs of grease leakage from the front suspension. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for structural integrity on the sills and mounting points is also advisable, though the record does not explicitly flag any corrosion to date.
