2013 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · SM62 YGG

Recurring issues with lighting and suspension components characterize the mechanical history of this vehicle, though the most recent test on 05 January 2026 shows a pass with no defects recorded. The record indicates a pattern of intermittent failures, specifically regarding position lamps and suspension linkage wear. For instance, the vehicle failed in early 2025 due to an inoperative nearside front position lamp and had previously failed in December 2023 for a combination of lighting failures, an excessively worn offside front lower suspension arm ball joint, and a dangerous defect regarding tyre tread depth. While the latest result suggests these specific issues have been addressed, the history shows a trend of component degradation that requires scrutiny. The vehicle has covered 97,341 miles over its thirteen-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 7,488 miles. This usage pattern is consistent with typical low-to-mid-range mileage for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically, this level of usage suggests that while the engine and drivetrain may not have faced extreme high-mileage stress, the vehicle has been subject to regular wear on consumables such as tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes. The steady mileage accumulation reduces the likelihood of issues arising from long-term stationary periods, such as seized calipers or perished seals, but confirms that wear-and-tear items will be at various stages of their service life. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the suspension system during a test drive, given the repeated advisories and failures concerning ball joints. The 2025 advisory noted slight play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint, following a major failure for an excessively worn offside front lower ball joint in late 2023. On the road, listen for any knocking, clunking, or popping sounds when driving over uneven surfaces or speed bumps, and check for any wandering or pulling in the steering that might indicate worn linkages or bushings. Attention should also be directed toward the braking system and tyres. Previous records from 2022 flagged front brake discs as being worn, pitted, or scored, and multiple advisories have noted tyre damage, cracking, or perishing, particularly on the offside rear. During a test drive, monitor for any pedal judder or vibration under braking, which can be a symptom of disc surface irregularities. Additionally, visually inspect the sidewalls and tread of all tyres for signs of cracking or uneven wear, as the history shows a recurring tendency for tyres to reach or exceed legal limits between inspection intervals.
