2018 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · YY68 HGG

A pattern of increasing advisories regarding consumable components has emerged in the most recent inspection cycle, moving from a clean record in 2023 to multiple points of concern in 2024 and 2025. While the vehicle passed its latest MOT on 15 October 2025, the transition from no recorded defects to advisories for tyre condition and brake disc degradation suggests a shift toward more frequent maintenance requirements for wear-and-tear items. The single failure recorded in 2022 was limited to a non-functional daytime running lamp, which does not indicate broader mechanical issues but marks the only point where the vehicle failed to meet minimum standards. The vehicle has covered 59,827 miles over its eight-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 7,478 miles. This usage profile is consistent with typical short-to-medium distance commuting and does not suggest the extreme high-mileage wear associated with heavy motorway use, nor does it indicate the potential for component seizure or fluid degradation often seen with much lower mileage vehicles that sit idle for long periods. This steady rate of mileage suggests that components like suspension bushes, exhaust systems, and drivetrain elements have been subjected to regular, predictable levels of mechanical stress. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system and tyre integrity during a physical inspection and test drive. The 2024 MOT highlighted both nearside rear and offside rear brake discs as being worn, pitted, or scored. On a test drive, you should check for any rhythmic pulsation through the brake pedal or steering wheel when decelerating, as well as any audible squealing or grinding noises from the rear of the car. Additionally, the 2025 advisory regarding a near-side rear tyre showing signs of cracking or perishing suggests the rubber may be aging or suffering from environmental degradation. Regarding the tyres, the 2024 record also noted an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edge. This specific advisory can sometimes point to uneven tyre wear caused by alignment issues or suspension geometry problems. During the test drive, listen for any irregular road noise or vibration that might indicate uneven tread wear, and observe the vehicle on a straight road to ensure there is no significant pulling to one side. Checking the condition of the sidewalls for any further cracking or bulging is also advisable given the most recent advisory.
