2017 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · YL66 XUG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 55,831 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure involving headlamp aim, a distorted nearside wheel, and a worn offside front tyre. This pattern suggests the owner only addresses mechanical issues once they result in an MOT failure, rather than performing routine inspections or preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year over its nine-year life. Between the January 2024 test at 49,003 miles and the January 2025 test at 52,798 miles, the car covered 3,795 miles. While low mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, the recurring issues with tyre perishing and uneven wear indicate the car may sit stationary for long periods, leading to rubber degradation despite the low mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and wheel alignment. The repeated reports of tyres worn on inner and outer edges in both 2025 and 2026 strongly suggest a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes and ball joints. The distorted nearside front road wheel noted in January 2026 indicates a previous significant impact, which could have compromised the steering geometry or the control arm integrity. Additionally, the excessive wear noted on the brake lever pivot in 2025 should be re-checked to ensure the parking brake remains reliable and safe.
