2012 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · EY62 HBF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than preventative care. While it passed its latest test in September 2025 at 62,439 miles, it failed just one day prior with multiple mechanical and lighting defects. The persistence of thin front brake pads and corroded brake pipes across several years suggests that the owner only addresses faults when they become necessary to pass the annual MOT test, rather than performing routine servicing to prevent component failure. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 62,439 miles is remarkably low, averaging approximately 4,460 miles per year. This low usage often implies less wear on engine components, but the data shows it has not prevented age-related degradation. Between August 2023 at 53,767 miles and September 2025 at 62,439 miles, the car covered only 8,672 miles, yet developed significant issues with corrosion on the brake lines and leaking in the shock absorbers. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking and suspension systems. The tester flagged the offside and nearside rear brake pipes as corroded and covered in grease in 2025, a condition often used to hide deeper structural decay. The fluctuation in the offside rear service brake indicates a potentially sticking caliper or a warped disc that requires immediate attention. Furthermore, the misting oil on the nearside rear shock absorber noted in 2023 suggests the seals are failing, which should be checked for significant leaks that could compromise vehicle handling and uneven alignment.
