2021 Hyundai I10 Premium MPI 1.0L Petrol · WP71 LCK

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 17 October 2025 at 24,188 miles with no recorded defects, granting it a current certificate. However, this follows a failure just three days prior on 14 October 2025 for an offside rear service brake excessively binding, a defect classed as dangerous. This, combined with advisories for worn front brake discs and thin pads noted in the previous year's test on 22 November 2024 at 22,124 miles, indicates a pattern of inconsistent brake maintenance. The trend appears to have worsened from advisory wear to a dangerous binding failure before a corrective action seemingly resolved the immediate issue for the pass. The recorded mileage of 24,188 miles over approximately five years averages a low 4,838 miles annually. This low utilisation can sometimes mask developing issues, as components may corrode or seize from lack of use rather than wear. The premature front brake wear flagged at 22,124 miles in late 2024 is notable for a vehicle of this age and mileage, suggesting either exceptionally harsh braking environments or, more likely, a lack of regular use leading to disc corrosion and uneven pad contact. The MOT history is otherwise sparse, with no other recurring faults recorded, but the brake history alone points to neglected servicing intervals. A buyer must prioritise a thorough in-person inspection of the braking system. The rear brake calipers and associated hardware require immediate scrutiny to confirm the binding issue was properly rectified and not merely adjusted to pass. The front brake discs and pads, already worn thin at the 2024 test, must be measured for remaining thickness and checked for scoring or heat damage. Given the low mileage, inspect all brake components for corrosion, particularly on the rear offside side, and test for smooth, even braking without pull or drag. Beyond brakes, a general suspension check is prudent to rule out perished bushes or dry joints from infrequent use, though no specific suspension faults were recorded.
