2013 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · WM13 ATZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the mechanical history reveals a worsening trend regarding structural and hydraulic integrity. While it passed its most recent test in June 2025 at 47,279 miles, it had failed just five days prior for critical safety defects. The tester identified a leak on the nearside rear brake pipe and excessive corrosion on the offside rear brake pipe, which prevented a full brake performance test. This indicates that the braking system has reached a point of material failure requiring immediate attention to maintain safety. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 47,279 miles is significantly low, averaging only approximately 3,600 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-use patterns, with only 2,889 miles driven between the June 2024 and June 2025 tests. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long periods of standing often correlate with accelerated corrosion, as components are not frequently used to clear away moisture and salt from the undercarriage and lines. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the subframe and inner sills, as these have been flagged for corrosion in every test recorded since at least 2022. Although the tester noted the subframe was not yet seriously weakened, the persistent presence of rust on the mounting areas and chassis legs suggests an ongoing process of oxidation. You should also verify that the brake pipe repairs following the June 2025 failure were executed with new material and that no secondary leaks remain in the hydraulic system.
