2012 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · FD62 OAH

The 2012 Hyundai I10 presents a stable and improving maintenance picture as of its most recent MOT on 2 August 2025 at 87,694 miles, where it passed with zero defects. The preceding test on the same day recorded a single failure for a non-functioning nearside front headlamp on dipped beam, a minor electrical fault promptly rectified before the pass. This clean bill of health, following a pattern of resolving minor advisories, indicates attentive ownership in the last year. Mileage accumulation remains consistent with the vehicle's age. Between 19 August 2024 at 82,820 miles and 2 August 2025 at 87,694 miles, the car covered 4,874 miles in just under twelve months. The annualised rate sits comfortably around the 6,000-mile mark typical for a city-focused supermini of this vintage. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in the recorded odometer readings, suggesting regular use rather than prolonged standing. The 2024 test at 82,820 miles flagged a cluster of nearside front lighting faults alongside a worn tyre, indicating a period of deferred basic upkeep. The 2023 pass at 80,747 miles carried an advisory for worn edges on both front tyres. Recurring front tyre wear across consecutive years points to potential alignment or suspension bush wear, even if the current MOT is clean. A buyer should physically inspect the inner and outer sidewalls of the front tyres for uneven wear patterns, check the condition of the front suspension bushes and ball joints, and verify all headlamp functions on both main and dipped beam before purchase.
