2014 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · WG64 FSV

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a persistent mechanical issue that requires monitoring. In the most recent test in July 2025 at 22,870 miles, the car passed with a recorded oil leak noted as not excessive. This specific defect has appeared in three consecutive tests dating back to July at 19,968 miles, indicating a stable but ongoing leak that has not yet reached a threshold of failure but suggests a degrading seal or gasket. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,900 miles per year. Between July 2022 and July 2025, the car covered only 4,722 miles, suggesting a pattern of short-distance trips or long periods of inactivity. While low mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long standing periods can lead to the degradation of rubber components, dry seals, and internal corrosion, which may correlate with the noted oil leak. A buyer should physically inspect the engine bay to identify the source of the recurring oil leak, checking the rocker valve cover gasket or oil sump seal for weeping. The failure in July 2022 at 18,148 miles regarding the inoperative offside rear parking brake and low efficiency was rectified, but the low-usage pattern warrants checking that the parking brake mechanism remains seized and cables have not seized due to lack of use. Given the age and low mileage, checking for tyre sidewall cracking and perished bushings is also essential as the vehicle likely sits stationary for extended periods.
