2010 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · YG10 ABO

The 15 July 2026 MOT at 64,754 miles resulted in a pass, despite noted rear shock absorber casing damage and a front oil leak, indicating the vehicle remains roadworthy but with outstanding advisories. The preceding failure on 14 July 2026, where the rear coil spring and front strut mounting were judged seriously weakened, shows that recent repairs have corrected the most critical defects. Overall the maintenance trend has improved after addressing the July 2026 failures, though recurring suspension and brake issues persist. At 16 years old the recorded 64,754 miles equate to roughly 4,047 miles per year, a low figure that suggests limited use or extended periods of inactivity. The interval from the 30 June 2025 test (61,398 miles) to the 14 July 2026 failure (64,754 miles) added just over 3,300 miles in 13 months, indicating a modest acceleration in mileage accumulation but not an alarming surge. Earlier gaps, such as the 5,951‑mile increase between the 27 June 2024 and 30 June 2025 tests, remain within a steady, low‑rate pattern, and no period shows rapid, high‑kilometre buildup that would accelerate component wear. Buyers should prioritize a close examination of the suspension system, focusing on the condition of the rear coil spring and front strut mounting, both of which were judged seriously weakened in the July 2026 failure and later noted as damaged but not critical in the subsequent pass. Inspect the front suspension arm for continued corrosion, the rear shock absorber casing for cracks, and verify that the oil leak source is sealed. The brake history reveals repeated front disc wear and pitting, while rear brake pipes showed excessive corrosion in 2022; a physical check of disc thickness, pad condition, and pipe integrity is essential. Finally, assess tyre wear patterns, ensure mismatched aspect ratios are corrected, and confirm battery security and seat belt operation, as these items have appeared repeatedly in the record.
