2012 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · MW12 EWE

The November 2025 MOT at 58,065 miles passed but disclosed several advisories that point to a vehicle entering a stage where ageing components require attention. The offside rear brake pipe is corroded, the brake pedal has worn smooth and begun to split, and the nearside rear fuel tank breather pipe is badly deteriorated. Earlier tests show a failure on tyre cords and a worn anti-roll bar linkage in 2023, followed by a clean pass in 2024 after a trivial light defect. The trend is stable but slipping; the 2025 result introduces corrosion and perishable rubber items that were not flagged before. The recorded 58,065 miles on a 2012 plate yields roughly 4,150 miles per year, a low average for this age. However, the mileage between the November 2023 test and the December 2024 test increased by about 8,340 miles, more than double the yearly norm. The subsequent interval to November 2025 added roughly 7,450 miles. This recent step-up in use means components may have worn faster than the low average suggests, and the car likely experienced periods of inactivity earlier in its life. A buyer should focus on the rear brake pipes for corrosion severity and consider replacement costs. The brake pedal surface indicates substantial wear, which may reflect driving habits or heavy foot pressure. The fuel breather pipe requires inspection for cracks or leaks. The 2023 tyre failure with exposed cords shows basic upkeep was neglected at that time, and the worn anti-roll bar linkage was repaired but other suspension bushes and joints merit close examination for future wear. This i10 needs prompt attention to braking and rubber components before it can be considered dependable.
