2010 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · WD59 FSE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 102,023 miles showed only a worn front brake disc, the preceding two years indicate significant mechanical and structural concerns. The trend shows improvement only after addressing multiple failures in early 2024 and early 2025, yet the frequency of serious faults suggests the vehicle was only serviced when a failure was imminent. At 102,023 miles, this sixteen-year-old Hyundai has averaged approximately 6,400 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-moderate urban usage. The mileage data shows steady progression, with roughly 4,300 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 6,150 miles leading to the latest test. Despite the relatively low annual mileage, the age of the vehicle has contributed to the degradation of rubber components and corrosion, which is evident in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the steering and suspension components due to recurring failures. The record notes damaged steering linkage ball joint dust covers and a lifted offside front suspension in early 2025. Furthermore, the persistent mention of a suspect baulkhead fracture and a steering universal joint catching under full clutch depression indicates potential structural or drivetrain issues that remain unverified. These faults require a physical check to ensure structural integrity or mechanical wear has not progressed beyond the point of economical repair. The braking system also requires close scrutiny. The February 2024 failure highlighted a binding nearside rear brake and an inoperative parking brake, while the February 2026 advisory noted pitted and scored front discs. These indicators suggest that the braking hardware is prone to corrosion or neglect during periods of inactivity. A buyer should verify that the handbrake operates effectively and check that the rear calipers are free from binding to avoid premature wear on the components.
