2012 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · NU62 ADZ

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 23 August 2025 at 81 420 miles, with no defects recorded. The preceding test, just one day earlier, failed due to an offside front suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a)(i)). The fault was rectified before the pass, indicating a recent repair but also highlighting a recurring suspension issue. Overall the maintenance trend shows improvement after the 2025 failures, yet the history contains repeated brake‑pad wear, tyre wear advisories and intermittent lamp and engine‑management warnings, suggesting a pattern of periodic wear rather than a steady decline. Mileage accumulation has been low for a 14‑year‑old car, averaging roughly 5 800 miles per year up to 2024. The last recorded year, however, added about 5 300 miles between August 2024 (76 081 miles) and August 2025 (81 420 miles), a notable increase that may reflect heavier recent use. The MOT entries are annual and largely complete, with no significant gaps in the record. A buyer should closely inspect the front suspension ball joints for excess wear or play, examine brake pads for thinness, and check tyre tread depth and edge wear on all four tyres. The front position lamp should be tested for operation, and the windscreen inspected for any damage that could affect visibility. The engine management system should be scanned for stored codes, and the under‑body examined for corrosion or rust, especially around suspension mounts and the exhaust. A thorough visual check of the rear tyre wear and the condition of the suspension dust covers is also advisable, given the repeated ball‑joint and dust‑cover failures in the history.
