2012 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · AF12 NLV

The Hyundai i10 presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test, where it passed with no defects recorded on 29 October 2025 at 71,270 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged across the last three annual cycles. Prior to that pass, the vehicle failed on 28 October 2025 at the same mileage with no defects listed, a pattern repeated when it failed then passed on 7 October 2024 at 70,307 miles. These back-to-back fail-and-pass entries on identical mileages suggest administrative rejections rather than mechanical faults, not a worsening condition. At roughly 14 years old, the car shows 71,270 recorded miles, an average of about 5,091 miles per year. This is low for its age. The odometer moved only 639 miles between the December 2023 test at 69,668 miles and the October 2024 test at 70,307 miles, then just 963 miles to the October 2025 test. Such limited annual use implies the car spent long periods stationary, which can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop unseen. The record itself is sparse and clean, with no advisories logged on any pass. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for binding or seizure caused by low-use standing. Check underside structural integrity and sills for corrosion, as MOT testers recorded no advisories but a 14-year-old lightweight hatchback left idle will often hide rust the paper record misses. Verify the tyres, wiper blades, and brake disc condition match the clean history before purchase.
