2012 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · RE12 AAO

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 10 April 2026 at 36,253 miles recorded no defects whatsoever, maintaining a stable trend over the last five years. This flawless record suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to an exacting standard and has not encountered the mechanical or structural failures typically seen in cars of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a fourteen-year-old car, averaging approximately 2,600 miles per year. Between May 2022 and April 2026, the vehicle covered only 10,446 miles, indicating very light use or long periods of stationary. This low rate of travel generally implies less wear on high-stress components such as the drivetrain, engine internals, and suspension geometry. However, such low annual mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or fluid stagnation if the car sat for extended months without the thermal stress of regular long-distance driving. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on components affected by low-mileage neglect rather than mechanical wear. Particular attention should be paid to checking for cracking in tyre sidewalls and suspension bushes, which can perish from age regardless of the distance travelled. While the record shows no history of brake issues or corrosion, a physical check of the brake discs for pitting from infrequent use is advisable. The structural integrity of the chassis appears sound given that no advisories for corrosion have ever been issued in the documented history.
