2013 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · WD13 CYP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in October 2025 at 95,365 miles saw the car pass only after addressing a failed nearside front position lamp and worn front tyres. While the immediate safety failures have been rectified, the recurring nature of mechanical defects in previous years suggests that the owner typically only fixes faults when they are about to cause an MOT failure. At 95,365 miles over 13 years, the car has averaged approximately 7,300 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a small city car. The mileage progression shows consistent annual use, with roughly 8,400 miles covered between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, though the low mileage relative to its age often masks the degradation of rubber components and metalwork as seen in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough in-person inspection of the braking system and rear suspension. The October 2024 failure highlighted excessive corrosion on the nearside rear brake pipe and corrosion on both rear shock absorber casings. While these were noted as failures, the presence of grease on brake pipes often indicates an attempt to hide weeping leaks or a sign of poor general maintenance. The damaged offside track rod end dust cover noted in 2024 also suggests that steering components are beginning to reach the end of their service life. The fuel filler area also warrants attention due to dampness reported in late 2024, which can be an early sign of internal corrosion or seal failure in the filler neck. Given that the front tyres were worn close to the legal limit in 2025, the buyer should check for suspension alignment issues or uneven wear patterns that might indicate worn out geometry components. Focus on the structural integrity of the underbody to ensure that the corrosion seen on the brake lines has not progressed into the structural members of the chassis.
