2012 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · AO12 ACZ

The vehicle presents a generally positive roadworthiness profile with a highly stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 9 January 2026 at 32,798 miles returned no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in previous years, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained without significant mechanical neglect. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,343 miles per year. Between January 2023 and January 2025, the car covered 10,129 miles, while it added another 8,141 miles in the year leading to the 2026 test. The recorded failure on 9 January 2024 at 19,146 miles followed by a pass on the same day suggests a minor issue that was quickly rectified rather than a chronic mechanical failure. This low-use profile indicates the car likely sat stationary for long periods, which can occasionally lead to dry rot in rubber components or fluid degradation despite the low mechanical wear. While the record shows no recurring advisories, a buyer must focus on the effects of low-mileage storage during physical inspection. Check the brake discs for signs of corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use often leads to surface rust that persists. Examine the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking or sidewalling, as the age of the rubber affects these more than the mileage. The structural integrity of the chassis should also be verified for corrosion, though the MOT history has not flagged any significant rust issues to date.
