2014 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · WR14 CDY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding brake system neglect. While it passed its most recent test in February 2026, it had failed an inspection just one day and one mile prior due to an inoperative nearside parking brake and insufficient braking efficiency. The recurring presence of pitted and scored rear brake discs across every test since 2023 indicates that the owner has consistently deferred replacing components until they reached a critical point of failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 104,787 miles, the Hyundai has averaged approximately 8,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage figures for a twelve-year-old city car. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 12,700 miles driven between March 2023 and February 2024, and another 7,700 miles in the following eleven-month period. This steady mileage suggests the car does not sit for long periods, which generally helps prevent seal degradation, despite the visible wear on specific mechanical components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear braking assembly and parking brake mechanism. The history of binding and fluctuating brakes in 2024, followed by a total parking brake failure in 2026, suggests seized calipers or worn adjuster cables that require immediate attention. You should verify the condition of the new rear discs to ensure the pitting has not compromised their structural integrity. Additionally, given the advisories for uneven tyre wear in 2025, the suspension geometry should be checked to ensure that worn bushes are not causing premature tyre scrub.
