2009 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · WJ09 LWH

The vehicle presents a history of reactive maintenance characterized by frequent failures for minor electrical and wear items. In the most recent test on 27 July 2026 at 67,353 miles, the car passed following a failure just three days prior. That failure revealed multiple issues including an inoperative stop lamp and registration plate lamp, a defective nearside front headlamp lens, and severely deteriorated front suspension arm ball joint dust covers. This pattern suggests that faults are often only addressed when necessitated by an MOT failure rather than through a proactive service schedule. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 67,353 miles is remarkably low, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. This low usage profile often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components due to age, which is evident in the record. Between August 2022 at 51,619 miles and 2026 at 67,353 miles, the vehicle covered only 15,734 miles, yet it consistently flagged recurring issues with suspension-related parts and lighting. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the record shows persistent issues with the lower arm ball joint dust covers and upper strut mounts. The 2024 test also noted a nearside front wheel bearing play and worn brake components, indicating that mechanical parts are reaching the end of their service life. The history also shows poor tyre management, with multiple failures for tyres reaching legal limits or having structural damage to the cords. While the vehicle is currently roadworthy, the recurring nature of light bulb and wiper blade failures indicates an owner who performed only the minimum upkeep. The low mileage protects the engine from wear, but the age of the vehicle means that plastics, bushings, and seals are likely prone to failure. A thorough check for corrosion on the chassis and the integrity of the exhaust system is essential before purchase.
