2012 HYUNDAI I101.2L Petrol

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no recorded defects in its last five MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-04-15 assessment at 66,434 miles. All tests from 2021 to 2025 show consistent compliance, indicating reliable maintenance practices by previous owners. No advisories or critical failures were noted, suggesting the car has been operated within acceptable parameters. The absence of recurring issues across multiple inspections implies a lack of systemic mechanical degradation, though low mileage accumulation over its age warrants further scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 66,434 miles at 14 years old equates to approximately 4,745 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This pattern suggests either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like rubber seals, battery life, and fluid systems. Gaps between MOT tests are consistent, with annual intervals, but the lack of mileage spikes or rapid increases limits insights into dynamic wear. The clean record does not confirm proactive maintenance beyond statutory requirements, leaving potential for undetected minor faults. A buyer should prioritise inspecting suspension components, particularly rear coil springs and bushings, which may degrade without visible MOT failures. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as these often develop gradually. Structural integrity remains unverified by the records, so a thorough underbody inspection for rust or panel damage is advised. While the MOT history shows no immediate risks, the low mileage and age combination necessitate a detailed pre-purchase examination to confirm the vehicle’s actual condition beyond documented compliance.
