2010 HYUNDAI I201.2L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last several years. The most recent test conducted on 24 August 2023 at 89,234 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just six days prior at the same mileage. This immediate rectification suggests a minor, fixable fault, such as a bulb or a minor adjustment, which the previous owner addressed promptly to secure the re-test. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,577 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 25,046 miles between August 2022 (64,188 miles) and August 2023 (89,234 miles), indicating a period of much higher usage compared to the preceding years. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests can sometimes mask the degradation of rubber-based parts or the onset of corrosion on brake surfaces if the car has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age-related decay rather than mileage wear. Given the vehicle's age and low usage, check the structural integrity for surface rust, particularly around the sills and rear wheel arches. Examine the suspension bushes and dampers for cracking or perishing, as these often perish due to time regardless of miles driven. Additionally, verify the condition of the brake discs and fluid quality, as these may have degraded over time despite the low odometer reading.
