2012 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · RE12 ABU

The vehicle presents a highly favorable roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent MOT test conducted on 26 August 2025 at 54,061 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This clean sheet suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and that critical mechanical and structural components are currently operating within acceptable tolerance parameters. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,862 miles per year. Between August 2021 at 36,446 miles and August 2025 at 54,061 miles, the car covered only 17,615 miles. This consistent low-frequency usage indicates short-city trips rather than long motorway commuting. While this reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often exposes the vehicle to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluids if it sits stationary for extended periods. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas typically affected by low-mileage use. Check for cracking in rubber components, such as suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls, and wiper blades, which perish regardless of distance travelled. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use can prevent the pads from effectively cleaning the metal surfaces. Additionally, inspect the underside for any signs of structural rust to ensure that the age of the vehicle has not compromised the structural integrity of the chassis.
