2012 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · RE12 ABZ

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 31 March 2025 at 48,574 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to November 2020, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very little mechanical stress. The mileage is remarkably low for a 14 year old car, averaging roughly 3,470 miles per year. The distance covered between the November 2020 test at 36,077 miles and the March 2025 test at 48,574 miles shows a steady, low-volume usage pattern. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest periods of heavy commercial use or sudden changes in ownership patterns. Because the MOT history is devoid of any flagged faults, there are no recurring mechanical trends to warn against. The absence of advisories regarding brake discs, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions is rare for a vehicle of this age. It suggests the previous owner prioritised preventative maintenance or the car has lived a sheltered life. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles often suffer from perished rubber seals, tyre cracking due to age rather than wear, and potential brake caliper seizing from inactivity. Check for any signs of corrosion on the underbody and verify the battery health, as infrequent short trips can lead to premature electrical failure.
