2012 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · AO12 ADV

The vehicle currently holds a clean bill of health, with the most recent MOT conducted on 9 September 2025 at 27,628 miles resulting in a pass with no recorded defects. This represents a highly stable maintenance trend, as the car has achieved five consecutive clean passes since September 2021. The absence of any advisories over this four-year period indicates that the vehicle has been subjected to consistent, light usage and regular upkeep, suggesting that the previous owner prioritised preventative maintenance over reactive repairs. The recorded mileage of 27,628 miles over a fourteen-year lifespan averages approximately 1,973 miles per annum, confirming the vehicle has seen minimal road time. The steady, incremental mileage accumulation between the 2021 test at 23,693 miles and the 2025 test confirms the car has remained in regular operation rather than sitting stagnant for extended periods. This pattern of low, consistent usage typically reduces the strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it does not eliminate the natural degradation of rubber seals, hoses, and fluids that occur simply due to the age of the vehicle. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that age regardless of mileage, specifically checking the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking and the exhaust system for signs of internal corrosion. While the MOT history is exemplary, the low annual mileage means the braking system may be prone to surface corrosion on the discs if the vehicle has been parked in damp conditions for long stretches. Verify that the brake pedal feel is firm and that the handbrake holds securely on an incline. Ensure the engine bay is free from fluid leaks and check that the timing belt or chain service intervals have been respected, as these are time-dependent requirements that often go overlooked on low-mileage examples.
