2013 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · SP13 ORW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a worsening pattern regarding suspension and tyre wear. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 84,584 miles passed, the tester identified play in the offside front anti-roll bar linkage and noted front tyres wearing prematurely on the inside edges. This follows a failure in May 2024 where both the nearside front suspension arm and anti-roll bar linkage were found excessively worn. The recurrence of ball joint issues suggests that components are being run until failure rather than being proactively replaced. The recorded mileage of 84,584 miles reflects an average of approximately 6,500 miles per year, which is consistent with a thirteen-year-old city car. The usage pattern appears steady, with the roughly 4,700 miles driven between the 2025 and 2026 tests, and another 3,600 miles between 2024 and 2025. This relatively low annual mileage suggests the vehicle is not overstressed, though it may contribute to the gradual degradation of rubber components seen in the record. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry specifically, as the history indicates repeated failures of ball joints and uneven tyre wear. The inside-edge tyre wear points to a persistent alignment issue or worn arm bushings. Additionally, the 2023 test flagged significant corrosion on the front brake pipes covered in grease; while these passed the subsequent test, a physical inspection of the hydraulic lines is essential to ensure the corrosion has not progressed beyond a surface level. The presence of perishing rear tyres in 2025 also indicates that the owner may be neglecting age-related rubber degradation despite the low mileage.
