2012 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · EN12 UNG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, as evidenced by the most recent MOT pass in February 2026 at 36,387 miles. This test recorded no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. While a single failure occurred in July 2025, the immediate pass the following day suggests a minor item failure that was quickly rectified by the previous owner, rather than a sign of systemic mechanical decline or structural neglect. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,600 miles per year. Between July 2023 at 32,974 miles and February 2026 at 36,387 miles, the car covered only 3,413 miles. This low usage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, such low annual mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, such as perished tyres or seized brake calipers, due to periods of inactivity rather than use. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on components that suffer from age rather than distance. Given the low mileage, check the brake discs for corrosion and ensure the calipers move freely without binding. It is also advisable to inspect the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking or tearing, as these materials degrade over time regardless of distance driven. The MOT history shows no recurring structural issues, but a physical check of the underside for surface rust remains necessary for a vehicle of this age.
