2015 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · WD65 AAE

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a persistent issue with brake-related surface corrosion. The most recent test in October 2025 at 8,101 miles confirmed a pass despite noting that the rear brake discs were pitted and scored. While the car has passed each annual inspection, the recurring nature of this advisory across the last four years indicates a stable pattern of surface-level degradation rather than a developing mechanical failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 736 miles per year. Between October 2021 at 6,417 miles and October 2025 at 8,101 miles, the car covered only 1,684 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle sits for long periods, which directly explains the consistent pitting and corrosion found on the brake discs. When a car is used infrequently, moisture remains on the iron rotors, leading to the surface oxidation noted by the tester. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the braking system to determine the extent of the wear beyond the surface. The tester flagged both the nearside and offside rear discs in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. You must check if the discs have reached their minimum thickness or if the brake pads are wearing unevenly due to sticking pistons. The low mileage context also warrants a close check for seized brake calipers or perished rubber seals, as these are common failure points for vehicles that remain stationary for extended periods.
