2013 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · FH62 LUW

The maintenance trend for this 2013 Hyundai i10 is highly stable, reflecting a vehicle free from recurring mechanical faults. The most recent test on 2024-07-16 recorded a clean pass at 40,897 miles with zero defects. The two preceding failures on 2024-07-15 and 2024-07-09 also listed no defects, indicating the car likely failed on a procedural or minor technicality, such as a faulty bulb or registration plate issue, resolving immediately before the subsequent clean pass. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging just 3,146 miles annually. The car covered a mere 43 miles between the first failure on 2024-07-09 and the pass on 2024-07-16. Annual increments confirm minimal use, with only 2,333 miles added between 2022 and 2023, and 1,326 miles between 2023 and 2024. Such low mileage suggests prolonged periods of standing rather than consistent daily driving, which introduces specific mechanical risks despite the clean MOT record. A buyer must inspect components susceptible to deterioration from disuse. Seized brake calipers and binding handbrake cables frequently afflict vehicles that sit idle. Tyres require close scrutiny for flat-spotting and perishing, as they will degrade from age and lack of rotation rather than tread wear. Suspension bushes and shock absorbers may have deteriorated from lack of operation. Examining the exhaust system for internal corrosion and the underbody for structural rust remains essential, as low-mileage city cars often suffer from moisture accumulation during short, cold starts.
