2010 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · VN10 UPD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs on recurring mechanical components. The most recent test in September 2025 at 80,488 miles resulted in an initial failure due to a blown bulb, worn tyres, and suspension play. While the car passed immediately after these rectifications, the persistence of play in the front anti-roll bar linkages and thinning rear brake pads back to at least the 2023 test suggests the owner only addresses faults when they threaten an MOT rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 80,488 miles represents a low annual usage rate of approximately 5,000 miles. The data shows consistent, low-interval travel, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests and approximately 6,000 miles in the year prior to that. However, such low mileage often correlates with accelerated degradation of rubber components and surface corrosion on metal surfaces, which is consistent with the pitted brake discs and exhaust noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension, specifically the anti-roll bar ball joints, which have been flagged for play across three consecutive years. The recurring mention of thin rear brake pads and scored discs indicates the braking system is frequently nearing the end of its service life. Given the report of a corroded exhaust in 2024, a physical check of the vehicle's structural integrity along the sills and exhaust mounting points is essential to ensure that surface rust has not progressed into structural decay during the periods of low use.
