2011 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · YA11 EXP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of recurring mechanical faults and delayed repairs. While it passed the latest test in December 2025 at 87,437 miles, this followed a failure just one week prior due to a coolant leak from a cracked way housing and lighting defects. The record shows that several issues, specifically regarding the front sub-frame corrosion and brake binding, have been present across multiple testing cycles without being fully resolved. At 14 years old with 87,437 miles, the car has covered relatively low mileage for its age, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. There is a notable cluster of activity between October 2024 and December 2024, where the vehicle covered only 89 miles but underwent three separate inspections. This low annual usage often suggests less wear on the drivetrain, but it frequently correlates with the accelerated degradation of rubber components and seized braking hardware, as evidenced by the brake-related failures noted in the history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front sub-frame, which has been noted as corroded since at least December 2024; although described as not yet seriously weakened, corrosion on structural members is way and requires close monitoring. The braking system also demands significant attention, as the history shows recurring offside rear brake binding and imbalance across the rear axle. The buyer should verify that the calipers have been properly serviced and that the worn discs and pads have actually been replaced since the previous tests. Furthermore, the presence of an oil leak noted in late 2024 and the cracked thermostat housing identified in late 2025 suggest a need to check the integrity of the cooling system and engine seals. Given the previous failures related to windscreen wipers, washer fluid, and headlamps, a functional check should Ensure that all electrical and external components have been adequately maintained rather than merely bypassed.
