2012 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · LM62 XSH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs and recurring mechanical issues. While the most recent test on 5 December 2025 at 49,607 miles passed, it immediately followed a significant failure just one day prior. This indicates that the owner only addressed faults when forced by law rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The persistent presence of an oil leak across every recorded test since 2023 suggests a long-term issue that has not been professionally rectified. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 49,607 miles is exceptionally low, averaging only about 3,500 miles per year. This low usage often leads to age-related degradation rather than wear-and-tear. The data shows consistent annual intervals between tests, but the vehicle has covered roughly 2,500 to 3,500 miles between each inspection. The November 2024 test highlighted that both rear tyres had perished and were cracking, which is a classic symptom of a vehicle that sits stationary for long periods despite the low distance driven. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The December 2025 failure flagged excessive corrosion on the front brake pipes and hose ferrules alongside corrosion on both front Macpherson struts. While these were reportedly corrected for the subsequent pass, the presence of rust on structural components suggests the vehicle has been exposed to the elements. The front brake discs were also noted as pitted and scored, likely due to the car sitting without use, given the low mileage. The supplementary restraint system (SRS) remains a point of concern as the warning lamp triggered failures in both 2023 and 2025. A buyer should verify that this fault has been properly cleared and repaired, as it involves critical safety equipment. Additionally, the history of damaged track rod end dust covers and perished tyres indicates that the rubber components are prone to dry rot on this vehicle. A physical inspection is necessary to determine if the oil leak is a minor gasket weeping or a more significant leak that could lead to engine failure.
