2017 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · WN17 HHV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward deferred consumable repairs. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 25,104 miles passed, the tester flagged two new defects that were absent in previous years. The appearance of both nearside front and offside rear tyres reaching the legal limit with uneven edge wear indicates that the vehicle has reached a point requiring immediate maintenance attention despite its low mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,800 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-interval usage between 2022 and 2026, with the car covering only 10,049 miles over that four-year period. This pattern suggests the car was likely used for short trips or remained stationary, which minimizes mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain. However, such low mileage can also sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and the corrosion of braking surfaces due to lack of regular use. A buyer must specifically inspect the rear braking system, as the record shows pitted and scored inner brake discs in both March 2025 and March 2026. Although these did not cause a failure, the recurring nature of this advisory suggests the discs are seizing or the calipers are not clearing effectively. The edge wear noted on the tyres in the 2026 test necessitates a professional wheel alignment check to ensure the suspension geometry has not been misaligned. Beyond these specific items, the history remains clean of structural corrosion or serious mechanical failures.
