2012 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · CV62 NFY

The 2012 Hyundai i10 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 March 2026 at 55,003 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior four annual tests show the same clean outcome apart from a failed entry on 10 February 2025 that carried no listed defects and was immediately re-tested and passed the same day. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear anywhere in the chain, so the documented history shows no worsening or recurring mechanical fault. The odometer sat at 40,453 miles for the February 2023 test, rose to 43,867 by March 2024, then 45,914 by February 2025, and reached 55,003 by March 2026. That final jump of just over 9,000 miles in twelve months is the largest in the record yet still leaves the car at roughly 3,929 miles per year across its fourteen years. Low yearly use of this sort often means long standing periods. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, with no flagged wear on consumables or structure to date. A buyer should still inspect the vehicle in person for hidden issues the MOT will not capture on a low-use car. Standing time promotes perished rubber, flat-spotted tyres, and surface corrosion on sills or subframes even when the tester recorded no defects. The February 2025 failure with no defects listed suggests an administrative or equipment error at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault, but the brake calipers, coil springs, and exhaust hangers warrant a hands-on check for binding or fatigue. Given the clean pass sheet and modest mileage, previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current. The same-day fail and pass in 2025 shows no evidence of neglected rectification. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible to confirm the underside and suspension remain free of the structural rust and worn bushes that low-mileage, occasionally stored cars can conceal.
