2010 Hyundai I10 1.1L Petrol · WM10 YSS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its latest test in June 2025 at 107,458 miles, this followed a failure just six days prior where multiple safety-critical defects were identified. The owner addressed a failing parking brake, an engine management light fault, and dangerously worn tyres to achieve the pass. The persistence of steering rack inner joint play and suspension corrosion suggests that mechanical components are only addressed once they reach the point of legal failure. At 107,458 miles over 16 years, the Hyundai has averaged approximately 6,700 miles per year, which is consistent with low-mileage city driving. The data shows a significant gap in mileage of over 11,500 miles between June 2023 and July 2024, followed by a rapid accumulation of 14,000 miles in the following year. This erratic usage pattern often indicates the vehicle sits stationary for long periods, which frequently contributes to the degradation of rubber components and the corrosion of metal surfaces despite the low total odometer reading. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension and steering assembly, as the record shows recurring issues with ball joints, track rod ends, and steering rack inner joints. The corrosion noted on both rear suspension arms in June 2025 is a developing issue; while not yet a failure point, the structural rust on these components will likely accelerate if not monitored. Additionally, the engine management system should be verified to ensure the previous malfunction reported in June 2025 was fully rectified and not merely cleared with a diagnostic tool.
