2012 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · EA62 ACZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-25 at 20,367 miles recorded a pass with no defects. However, a prior failure on 2024-09-24 at 19,455 miles—just 11 miles earlier—without recorded defects raises questions about the test’s accuracy or the vehicle’s condition. Subsequent tests in 2024-10-01 and 2023-09-25 also passed with no issues, suggesting the failure may have been an anomaly. Overall, the maintenance trend appears stable, with no recurring mechanical or structural faults documented. The vehicle’s mileage of 20,367 miles over 14 years equates to approximately 1,455 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage could indicate infrequent driving or prolonged periods of inactivity, which might lead to issues like corrosion, seized components, or degraded fluids. The MOT record shows minimal mileage progression between tests, with gaps of up to 12 months between 2022-09-29 (17,298 miles) and 2023-09-25 (18,567 miles), raising questions about the vehicle’s usage patterns. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask wear in these areas. The brake system, particularly rear calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny for binding or uneven wear, as inactivity may cause stiffness. Structural integrity should also be assessed, focusing on corrosion in seams or underbody components, which can develop during prolonged storage. While the MOT history lacks specific defects, the low mileage and isolated failure suggest a need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical soundness.
