2014 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · SV64 WWZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward mechanical wear after several years of clean records. The recent April 2026 test at 80,145 miles shows the car failed just three days prior due to a front oil leak and a perished front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover. While it passed the immediate retest, the presence of an oil leak suggests engine or gearbox seals are beginning to require attention, marking a departure from the previous period of flawless inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between September 2019 and April 2021, where the car covered over 26,000 miles in a short period. Since 2021, the usage has stabilized at a steady rate of 6,000 to 7,000 miles annually. This low annual mileage generally explains the lack of major structural issues but can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals despite the low odometer reading. A buyer should closely inspect the front suspension area to ensure the oil leak identified in April 2026 is not weeping from a high-pressure point. The failure of the ball joint dust cover indicates that grit is entering the assembly, which will lead to premature joint failure. Furthermore, the history shows a binding nearside front brake in 2024 and previous parking brake efficiency issues in 2018. A physical check should verify for uneven brake pad wear and ensure the parking brake mechanism remains fully effective, as these systems have shown recurring faults throughout the vehicle's life.
