2016 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · SM16 EXW

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 19 June 2025 at 41,743 miles, indicating a stable roadworthiness status following the rectification of previous failures. The record shows a clean history for several years, though the failure three days prior to the final pass highlights a specific issue with the rear braking system. The offside rear service brake binding and the inoperative parking brake suggest that the vehicle may have suffered from seized components or neglected maintenance during periods of inactivity. The recorded mileage of 41,743 over ten years averages approximately 4,174 miles annually, which is significantly lower than the national average. A notable plateau in usage occurred between May 2019 and May 2021, where the odometer increased by only 658 miles over two years. While low mileage often preserves the drivetrain, it can also lead to premature degradation of rubber seals, brake components, and exhaust systems due to infrequent heat cycles. The lack of advisories throughout the vehicle's life suggests that the chassis and suspension components have not been subjected to heavy stress or harsh road conditions. Prospective buyers should focus their inspection on the rear brake calipers and handbrake cables, as these components are prone to seizing on vehicles that spend long periods stationary. Check the inner faces of the rear brake discs for signs of scoring or uneven wear that might indicate the binding issue was not fully resolved or has returned since the last test. Verify that the handbrake holds firmly on an incline and releases without drag. Given the age of the vehicle, a visual inspection of the underside for surface corrosion on the exhaust system and suspension arms is advisable, as these parts often deteriorate faster on low-mileage cars that are prone to moisture retention.
