HYUNDAI I102014 · 1.2L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in May 2026, but the maintenance history shows a sign of intermittent electrical instability. While the car passed its latest test, it initially failed at 96,184 miles due to an inoperative Malfunction Indicator Lamp. The fact that the tester cleared a fault code to allow a pass suggests a recurring sensor or wiring issue rather than a permanent mechanical failure, indicating a potentially worsening trend in minor electronic faults that require close monitoring. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-use cycles, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. There was a notable gap of 7,301 miles covered between May 2024 and May 2025, followed by a more rapid accumulation of 19,269 miles in the year leading up to the 2026 test. This suggests the vehicle is used regularly, perhaps as a commuter, which often accelerates the wear of rubber-based components like suspension bushes and exhaust mounts despite the relatively low total mileage for its twelve years. A buyer should prioritise an inspection of the electrical system to ensure the MIL fault does not return after purchase. The 2025 test advisory at 84,215 miles noted an offside rear tyre worn on the edge, which often points to alignment issues or worn rear suspension components. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical check of the chassis for corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points is essential, as the record does not explicitly confirm structural integrity but these areas are common for this model at this mileage.
