2013 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · WG62 VEK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows signs of worsening regarding suspension and braking components. While it passed its latest test on 9 January 2026 at 120,584 miles, this followed a failure just two days prior due to critical defects. The transition from a clean certificate in June 2024 to a list of mechanical failures in 2026 indicates that the vehicle is reaching a stage where age-and-tear components are failing in quick succession, requiring proactive rather than reactive maintenance. The' pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,276 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 24,940 miles between the February 2023 test at 95,644 miles and the January 2026 test at 120,584 miles. This suggests regular use over the years which explains the accumulation of wear on rubber components and suspension joints. The rate of travel remains stable, but the high mileage places constant stress on the drivetrain and chassis. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension, as the history shows recurring issues with anti-roll bar linkages, suspension arm ball joints, and track rod ends. The 2026 failure specifically noted a nearside suspension arm ball joint likely to become detached, which is a significant safety risk. Additionally, the nearside rear shock absorber has progressed from light misting in 2023 to a serious fluid leak by 2024, suggesting the damping system is nearing end-of-life. The braking system also requires scrutiny. The 2026 record identified a fluctuating nearside rear service brake and worn front brake discs. Furthermore, the failure for a worn-through brake pedal anti-slip provision indicates that the pedal assembly may have been neglected. The buyer should also verify the battery security and the functionality of all external lighting, as these were flagged as defective or failing in the most recent testing cycle, indicating a lack of attention to minor electrical and cosmetic items.
