2015 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · YP15 HVF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its latest test in April 2026 at 29,925 miles, it failed just two months prior due to pitted front brake discs, a damaged offside rear tyre, and incorrect headlamp aim. This indicates that the current owner only addresses mechanical defects once they trigger an MOT failure, rather than performing routine preventative maintenance on wear-and-tear components. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,720 miles per year. Between the April 2024 test at 23,804 miles and the April 2026 test at 29,925 miles, the car covered only 6,121 miles over two years. This low-frequency use is likely the primary cause of the surface corrosion noted in the records, as infrequent brake usage often fails to clear the discs clean, leading to pitting and scoring. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system and suspension components because the record shows recurring issues with discs and binding calipers. The 2024 test flagged rear brake binding and misting on the nearside rear shock absorber, while the 2026 failure highlighted deterioration of the front discs. The missing nearside steering rack gaiter noted in 2024 must be verified as replaced to ensure no grit has entered the steering rack. Given the low mileage, also check for rubber perishing on tyres and bushes, as these components often age faster by time than they wear from mileage.
