2012 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · EY12 WRL

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent test in March 2026. The results from the latest inspection at 83,116 miles showed only a minor failure for an inoperative offside registration plate lamp. This represents a stable maintenance trend, as the 2024 and 2025 tests returned no recorded defects at all, indicating that the vehicle has been in good mechanical condition over the last two annual cycles. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 83,116 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 5,900 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns with annual increments of roughly 4,000 to 5,000 miles between the MOT tests from 2022 to 2026. This low-intensity profile typically suggests less wear and tear on the drivetrain and engine components, though low mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. The history highlights a specific area of concern regarding the front suspension. In March 2022 at 66,228 miles, the tester identified a severely deteriorated dust cover on the offside suspension arm ball joint, followed by an advisory in 2023 at 70,928 miles where the same joint was flagged for having slight play. While the vehicle has passed subsequent tests, these recurring issues suggest a buyer should personally inspect the front-end ball joints and associated control arm bushings to ensure these components were properly replaced and are not experiencing further premature wear.
