2010 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · YR60 PZX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the mechanical condition shows a worsening trend regarding suspension and braking components. While it passed its most recent test in March 2026 at 101,248 miles, this success followed a failure just four days prior. The tester noted recurring issues with the offside front anti-roll bar linkage, which moved from excessively worn in the failure to having only slight play in the nearside pass. This suggests that the owner is only performing the minimum repairs necessary to pass the MOT rather than addressing underlying preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a sixteen-year-old city car, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. Between March 2024 at 87,122 miles and March 2026 at 101,248 miles, the vehicle covered 14,126 miles, indicating a steady rate of use. The low annual mileage has not protected the vehicle from age-related degradation seen in the test records, where rubber components and metal pipes have deteriorated over time despite the relatively low distance driven. A buyer must scrutinise the braking system and suspension assembly. The record shows a persistent issue of corroded rear brake pipes covered in grease, which is often a tactic to hide structural decay from the tester. The parking brake has consistently only just met the legal threshold for three consecutive years, and the offside rear service brake continues to bind, indicating a sticking caliper or mechanical failure. Furthermore, the front Macpherson strut mounts and anti-roll bar linkages have been flagged for wear multiple times, suggesting the front suspension geometry is nearing the end of its functional life.
