2012 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · MA12 VUS

A consistent history of clean passes without recorded advisories defines this vehicle's roadworthiness record. This stability is reflected in the most recent pass on 14 January 2026, following a failure recorded on 12 January 2026 where no specific defects were listed. The absence of recurring issues over the last four years indicates a stable mechanical state, particularly regarding the absence of chronic corrosion or structural failures often seen in vehicles of this age. The recorded mileage of 101,513 miles over a 14-year period represents an average annual accumulation of roughly 7,251 miles. This is a typical usage pattern that avoids the risks associated with both excessive wear from high-mileage use and the degradation caused by long-term standing. At this mileage threshold, the vehicle has transitioned into a stage where consumables and rubber components are subject to natural age-related fatigue. In the absence of specific MOT advisories, the physical inspection should focus on components that typically wear around the 100,000-mile mark. During the test drive, listen for knocks or clicks when turning the steering wheel at low speeds or driving over speed humps, as these are primary symptoms of worn suspension bushings or steering rack play. Ensure the steering is centered and there is no pull to either side under braking. Evaluate the brake pedal for a firm response and check for any judder through the pedal, which would suggest warped brake discs. Although the MOT history is clear of emissions or leak flags, a visual check for oil misting around the engine seals and an inspection of the exhaust system for secure mounting and surface corrosion is recommended to complement the official records.
