2011 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · YH61 GZB

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a trend of deferred maintenance and reactive repairs. While it passed its most recent MOT on 11 October 2025 at 63,289 miles, this followed an immediate failure on the same day for multiple critical safety defects. The tester identified an ABS fault, structural tyre failures, and significant corrosion-related issues across the braking system. The persistence of these faults suggests that the owner only addresses the minimum requirements necessary to pass a test rather than performing preventative maintenance. At approximately 15 years old, the recorded mileage of 63,289 miles is notably low, averaging roughly 4,200 miles per year. However, this low usage does not correlate with the condition of the components. Between September 2023 at 55,758 miles and October 2025 at 63,289 miles, the car covered only 7,531 miles, yet it suffered from degraded brake pipes and perished rubber. This indicates the vehicle is likely suffering from age-related degradation rather than mechanical wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system, as corrosion on the brake pipes has been a recurring failure point since 2023. The 2025 test noted imbalanced rear brakes and thin front pads, suggesting the hydraulic system or calipers may be nearing neglect. Furthermore, the previous failure for an excessively worn offside front lower ball joint in 2023 and the recent ABS warning indicate that the suspension and electronic systems require close attention to prevent further mechanical failures. The presence of perishing tyres in the latest record further confirms that the rubber components are reaching the end of their life despite the low mileage.
