2012 HYUNDAI I101.2L PETROL

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a stable trend of developing corrosion and suspension component degradation. The most recent test in October 2025 at 55,756 miles confirms that several issues identified in the previous year have remained unaddressed. While the car passes, the persistence of rear sub-frame corrosion and damage to both rear shock absorbers indicates that the vehicle is beginning to age through its components despite its low annual mileage. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 55,756 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. This low usage explains the lack of major mechanical failures, but it correlates with the age-related defects seen in the record. The consistent flagging of perishing and cracking on the tyres across 2022, 2024, and 2025 suggests the vehicle may sit stationary for long periods, causing the rubber compounds to dry out and fail over time rather than wearing down from tread wear. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the rear sub-frame to determine if the corrosion has progressed toward structural weakness, as this has been noted in both the 2024 and 2025 tests. The rear shock absorbers also require scrutiny for fluid leaks beyond the noted surface casing damage mentioned in the last two testing cycles. Furthermore, the history of worn front brake discs and pads from 2022, combined with uneven front tyre wear in 2023, suggests that basic maintenance has only been performed when components reach a failure point rather than proactively.
