2011 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · WN11 RNV

A generally stable roadworthiness record punctuated by specific failures and advisories related to braking and steering components defines this vehicle. While the test on 24 February 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, the history reveals a pattern of minor electrical failures and mechanical wear. The transition from a 2022 failure involving a position lamp and a seized brake caliper to a clean result in 2025 indicates recent rectification, though the overall trend shows a susceptibility to component degradation. With 76,845 miles recorded over fifteen years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 5,123 miles per year. This low annual accumulation indicates lighter use than typical for its age. However, there is a notable gap in the testing history between February 2022 and February 2025, suggesting the vehicle may have been stationary or under-utilised for a significant period. This usage profile is often associated with the seizure of moving parts, which is reflected in the previously recorded brake caliper issue. Attention should be directed toward the braking system, specifically the front calipers, given the 2022 advisory regarding a seized caliper and worn pads. During a test drive, feel for any uneven braking or a pull to one side under deceleration, and check for excessive heat emanating from the front wheels after a short journey, which would indicate a binding caliper. The 2018 failure for an insecure steering rack gaiter also warrants a visual inspection; ensure the rubber boots on the steering rack are intact and not split, as a compromised gaiter allows road grit to enter the rack, potentially damaging the steering mechanism. The history of tyre wear on the inner and outer edges of the front tyres recorded in 2019 and 2020 suggests previous issues with wheel alignment or suspension geometry. Listen for any unusual humming or droning noises from the front end at speed and check for uneven tread wear on the current tyres. While the latest test was clear, the recurrence of these wear patterns indicates that the steering and suspension linkages should be closely monitored for play or degradation.
