2012 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · CX12 WMA

The Hyundai i10 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 16 October 2025 at 92,665 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared with no defects recorded at that test. This follows a clean pass on 22 October 2024 and an earlier pass on 21 October 2023, showing no escalating mechanical concerns across the three-year span. Annual mileage has tracked at a typical rate for a 2012 vehicle of this class. The records show 72,771 miles in October 2023, rising to 82,407 miles by October 2024, then 92,665 miles by October 2025. That equates to roughly 9,600 and 10,250 miles per year across the two intervals, modestly above the lifetime average of 6,619 but consistent with light private use. The DVSA data is sparse, listing only passes with no advisories and no recorded defects, which limits deeper wear analysis. Two failed tests appear in the record, on 15 October 2025 and 21 October 2024, both at near-identical mileages to the subsequent passes and both with no defects logged. This pattern points to administrative or presentational failures at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, though a buyer should confirm the failure reasons on the full DVSA certificate. The absence of advisories on any pass means suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and structural corrosion were not flagged by testers. Given the clean recorded history, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of underside structural integrity and brake component condition, as MOT passes with zero advisories do not rule out early wear. The i10's low overall mileage and stable test record suggest competent basic upkeep by previous owners, but in-person checks of tyre sidewall condition and exhaust emissions remain prudent before purchase.
