2014 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · WH63 DHX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on 09 December 2025 at 53,518 miles. However, the immediate history reveals a period of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. The car failed a test just one day prior to its most recent pass due to a critical leaking offside rear hydraulic brake caliper and contaminated brake pads. While these issues were rectified to achieve the pass, the sequence of failures suggests that the owner only addressed mechanical faults when they threatened the vehicle's status. The mileage profile is notably low for a 12-year-old I10, averaging approximately 4,460 miles per year. There is a significant three-year gap in records between the September 2022 test at 47,953 miles and the July 2025 test, during which the vehicle covered only 5,544 miles. This low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, which is evidenced by the perishing on the offside rear tyre noted in the July 2025 advisory. A buyer must closely inspect the braking system and suspension components to ensure the recent repairs were thorough. The July 2025 test flagged pitted and scored brake discs across all axles and a fluctuating rear service brake, which indicates surface corrosion from infrequent use. Furthermore, the missing nearside steering rack gaiter reported in July 2025 is a concern as it can lead to premature steering failure if not replaced. Verify that the offside rear caliper has been replaced rather than merely cleaned, as the December failure indicated an internal seal leak.
