2013 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · YY13 JSX

The vehicle's recent MOT history indicates a worsening trend in mechanical maintenance, despite passing its most recent test on 1 May 2026 at 37,896 miles. While the latest result is a pass, the vehicle failed earlier that same day due to an excessively worn offside front lower suspension arm bush and a tyre worn close to the legal limit. The presence of an oil leak, noted in both May 2026 and May 2024, suggests a persistent but non-critical issue that has not been rectified by the owner. The mileage profile shows exceptionally low usage for a 2013 vehicle, covering only 37,896 miles over approximately 13 years. This averages roughly 2,915 miles per year. While low mileage often implies less drivetrain wear, the record shows the car has been driven enough to necessitate frequent attention to consumables. The intervals between tests are consistent, with annual inspections recorded in May 2024, May 2025, and May 2026. A prospective buyer must closely inspect the suspension and braking systems. The record shows recurring issues with suspension components, specifically the anti-roll bar linkage ball joint in May 2025 and the suspension arm bush in May 2026. These faults, combined with the 90% worn front brake pads flagged in May 2025, suggest that while the car is driven infrequently, maintenance on wear-and-tear items is reactive rather than proactive. The May 2025 test also highlighted corrosion on the offside rear brake pipe. Although this was passed after being addressed, the history of brake pipe corrosion and recurring oil leaks warrants a thorough underbody inspection. The tester also noted that rear seat belts could not be verified in the most recent test due to the seats being folded down, so a physical check of all seat belt functionality is necessary to ensure full compliance.
