2012 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · LP61 OPD

This Hyundai i10 demonstrates an exemplary record of roadworthiness, having maintained a completely clean MOT history for five consecutive years without a single defect or advisory recorded. This stable trend of flawless passes, most recently confirmed on 5 January 2026, indicates a vehicle that consistently meets DVSA standards without the common wear-and-tear issues typically associated with city cars of this vintage. The recorded mileage of 33,267 miles is remarkably low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,376 miles per year. Such a low annual accumulation suggests the car has spent significant time stationary or has been used exclusively for short, local journeys. Mechanically, while this reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, it increases the likelihood of degradation in rubber components and seals that rely on regular lubrication and movement to remain supple. Given the absence of any recorded failures or advisories, the physical inspection should focus on verifying that the vehicle's mechanical condition matches its clean documentation. During the test drive, pay close attention to the suspension linkages and bushes; listen for any knocks or clunks when traversing uneven surfaces or speed bumps, as rubber components can perish over time regardless of mileage. Further attention should be paid to the braking system to ensure there is no binding or uneven wear. Feel for any pedal judder during deceleration or a pull to one side, which would indicate sticking calipers or warped discs. While the DVSA records show no issues with structural integrity or corrosion, a visual check of the subframe and sills is recommended to confirm the absence of surface rust that may not have reached the threshold of an MOT advisory.
