2012 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · ET12 PHA

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of minor electrical faults. The most recent test in August 2025 at 72,995 miles passed with a single advisory for an inoperative nearside rear registration plate lamp. This follows a similar pattern in 2024 where the car initially failed due to an ABS warning lamp before passing upon retest, suggesting that mechanical issues are being addressed when identified. The mileage profile is notably low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,200 miles per year. Between the July 2023 test at 64,757 miles and the August 2024 test at 69,104 miles, the car covered 4,347 miles. This consistent, low-level usage typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. However, such low mileage on a vehicle of this age can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components or corrosion of brake discs if the car sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the electrical system in person, as the repeated failures regarding stop lamps and registration lights indicate potential issues with bulb sockets, wiring, or earth points. The ABS fault recorded in 2024 should also be verified to ensure the sensor or module was properly replaced rather than merely cleared of codes. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical check for structural corrosion on the underside and the condition of the suspension bushes is essential, as these are common areas of failure for older Hyundais regardless of low mileage.
