These rats surely are a mess. In my i10 also they bit the fuel level indicator wire and it stayed at "E". They chewed the wire from below the rear seat.
Keep the old school cage type rat trap to catch them. Don't use poison cake like I did which turned into a big mess.

Seeing very Minimal or Local use.
How many of you have 15 year old cars sitting with very low mileage?

AC is not working. Even the blower does not turn on.
I can blame it on the same tiny devil called a "RAT". Small devious creatures.
However visually I cannot see any damaged wiring in Engine bay or Cabin.
It might require a lift for inspection hence is pending.
This was found to be a bad relay and was replaced by ASC, costing 1k approx
AC now works fine.

I have also gone for a major service Including-
Engine flush & oil change.
Gear oil change
Coolant flush & Change.
Brake Oil change.
Boot hydraulic lifters replaced.
Small knick knacks.
These are done as per Age and not KMS.

Certain models of hyundai are prone to silencer issues due to Either poor material or lack of good coating on factory silencer pipe. A few i10s in my socitey run with loud droning exhaust noise which sounds like a Sports car. LOL.
My vehicle suffered the same fate as holes had formed due to rusting of silencer pipe.
I got the hole welded and decided to coat the whole thing with some high heat paint.

Could not take very good before-after pics as it was awkward when working beneath the vehicle.
So here is what I have.
It looks better in person. Have made a good 3 coats.

Count me in. All my cars run very less.

That's a nice job you did on the silencer.
Are you sure that black paint wont simply peel off, due to so much heat at the silencer area.? Another issue is fire hazard.

Its a special 'High Heat' matte paint used for engine manifolds & exhausts. Its still there on my Safari silencer that I did in 2018. Coating daddy is not available anymore. I will miss that brand & Quality.
