2012 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · RE12 ABK

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistently clean MOT history. The most recent test on 19 March 2025 at 77,173 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting the car has been maintained to a standard that avoids common age-related failures. The mileage is notably low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,512 miles per year. A significant jump in usage occurred between March 2022 and March 2023, where the odometer rose from 54,136 to 69,361 miles. Since that period, the annual mileage has stabilised, with 4,467 miles added between April 2024 and March 2025. This low overall usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and interior, though it can occasionally mask issues related to vehicle stagnation. The record shows a single failure on 23 March 2023, though the data lists no specific defects for that failure, and the car passed the following day. Because the MOT history is unusually devoid of advisories, it provides little insight into the current state of consumables. A buyer should manually check the depth of the tyre treads and the thickness of the brake pads and discs, as these are standard wear items that may be nearing the end of their life despite the lack of official flags. Attention should be paid to the underside of the chassis for surface corrosion, which is common for a 2012 model regardless of mileage. I recommend checking the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishment, as rubber components often degrade over time even when the vehicle is not driven extensively. Testing the battery health and checking for any signs of oil leaks around the engine bay will confirm if the low mileage reflects careful ownership or periods of prolonged inactivity.
