2012 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · EA62 ADU

The 2012 Hyundai I10 demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT test on 2025-09-29 at 73,829 miles, which resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. The prior three tests from 2024-02-07 to 2023-02-07 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. A single failed test on 2024-02-06 at 62,965 miles is noted, but no defects were recorded, suggesting a potential administrative error or technical anomaly. Overall, the vehicle shows no signs of worsening mechanical or structural concerns. The mileage of 73,829 miles over 14 years equates to an average of 5,274 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for this age group. This low usage may reflect infrequent driving or extended periods of inactivity, which could affect components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs through lack of use. Notably, the 2024-02-06 test occurred just one day before a passing result at the same mileage, raising questions about data accuracy. The absence of recurring defects in the record suggests the vehicle has not faced major mechanical challenges. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for wear, particularly if the car was stored for long periods, as this can lead to hardened bushes or corroded components. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as low mileage may mask normal degradation. Structural integrity is likely intact, but underbody rust, especially in areas prone to moisture, warrants scrutiny. The lack of recorded issues in recent tests is positive, but the failed MOT entry at 62,965 miles should be clarified with the seller to confirm no unresolved faults.
