2012 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · NU62 HHS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass in the September 2025 test at 59,812 miles. This most recent result indicates that previous issues regarding lighting, tyres, and braking performance have been addressed. While the vehicle experienced a failure in September 2022 due to rear axle corrosion and a defective stop lamp, the subsequent years show a trend of resolving these defects rather than a worsening pattern of mechanical neglect. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2012 vehicle, averaging approximately 4,272 miles per year. The record shows very light usage in its early years, with only 7,404 miles recorded by August 2016. A more significant increase in usage occurred between September 2021 and September 2022, where mileage jumped from 19,332 to 32,818. Since that period, the vehicle has maintained a consistent, moderate driving pattern, reaching 59,812 miles by the most recent inspection. A prospective buyer should focus inspection on the rear axle to ensure the corrosion noted in the September 2022 test has been sufficiently treated or mitigated. Although the 2025 test recorded no defects, the history of minor issues suggests a need to verify the condition of the braking system. The tester flagged a slightly grabbing offside rear secondary brake in September 2024, and thinning brake pads were noted in September 2021. Checking for binding calipers or uneven pad wear is advisable. Finally, the recurring advisories regarding tyre wear and deteriorated registration plates suggest that while the car is mechanically sound, the owner occasionally overlooks minor consumable maintenance. Inspect the current tread depth and sidewall condition of all tyres, and ensure all exterior lighting and number plate illumination are fully operational to avoid immediate post-purchase attention.
