2012 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · RE12 ACX

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT pass on 26 August 2025 at 81,739 miles was achieved with no defects recorded. This follows a pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is low for a 14 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,838 miles per year. Between the September 2023 test at 72,758 miles and the August 2025 test at 81,739 miles, the car covered 8,981 miles over nearly two years. This low annual usage indicates the car has likely served as a secondary vehicle or a short-distance commuter, which reduces general drivetrain wear but can increase the risk of perished rubber components or battery degradation. The MOT record is unusually clean, showing no advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion across multiple tests. While the lack of flagged defects is positive, the record shows two instances where the car failed and passed on the same day, specifically on 24 December 2024 and 23 August 2025. Since no specific defects were listed for these failures, these likely relate to administrative errors or minor issues resolved instantly on site. A buyer should focus a physical inspection on components that often deteriorate during periods of low use. Check for tyre perishing or flat spots, as the low mileage may mean tyres are old despite having remaining tread. Inspect the brake calipers for seizing and check the underside for surface corrosion, as the MOT record does not provide a detailed history of preventative maintenance beyond the basic annual tests.
