2012 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · LC12 GKD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by three consecutive clean passes over the last two years. The most recent test conducted in May 2026 at 40,209 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that previous mechanical and safety concerns have been addressed. This reflects a positive trend of consistent maintenance following a notable failure in 2023, suggesting the current ownership is proactive in rectifying faults identified by the DVSA tester. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,872 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between May 2022 and April 2023, where the car covered only 7,383 miles in a year, but since then the rate of use has slowed further, with only 5,398 miles recorded across the last three tests combined. While this low mileage suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber parts due to prolonged inactivity. A buyer should physically inspect the condition of the rubber components specifically, as the history shows a recurring pattern of perishing tyres and structural tyre noted in 2015 and 2019. The 2023 failure highlighted a serious fluid leak on the nearside rear shock absorber and worn brake discs; while these were replaced, an inspector should check for any signs of subsequent leaks or corrosion on the remaining suspension hardware. Given the low mileage, verify that the sidewalls are not cracking and that the brake discs have not suffered from excessive surface rusting from sitting between tests.
