2010 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · WM59 PSX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding suspension component integrity. While it passed its most recent test on 9 April 2026 at 71,388 miles, it failed just one day prior with multiple mechanical and structural defects. The transition from a significant failure to a pass within twenty-four hours suggests the owner is only addressing faults when forced by the MOT tester, rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 71,388 miles represents a low annual usage rate of approximately 4,462 miles per year. However, the data shows a recent spike of 3,853 miles between February 2024 and January 2025, followed by another 3,558 miles leading into the April 2026 test. This low mileage often correlates with the accelerated degradation of rubber-based components and brake surfaces due to stationary periods, which is evidenced by the recurring corrosion issues noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the rear suspension and braking system. The offside rear coil spring has been flagged for heavy corrosion since January 2025 and progressed into a failure in April 2026. Furthermore, the nearside rear service brake has a history of binding, moving from a minor advisory in early 2025 to an excessively binding failure in the April 2026 test. The tester's note regarding low clutch pedal clearance in the latest failure is also a critical concern that requires a mechanical check to rule out hydraulic failure or pressure plate wear.
