2012 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · RE12 ACO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on its recent inspection history. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 117,096 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets minimum legal standards. While a failure was noted in October 2024 at 112,102 miles, the immediate pass on the same day suggests the identified issues were rectified quickly without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per year. Between the October 2022 test at 98,463 miles and the October 2025 test at 117,096 miles, the car covered 18,633 miles, showing a steady and predictable accumulation of mileage. This regularity is generally preferable for mechanical components than long periods of standing, which often leads to seized brakes or perished rubber-based seals. Given the clean records from the two most recent tests, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on standard wear and tear items associated with a vehicle of over 117,000 miles. Pay close attention to the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs as these are common points of failure at this age. Since the MOT history does not flag recurring structural corrosion or brake issues, a manual check of the underside sills and brake pans is necessary to ensure no hidden rust has developed since the last DVSA inspection.
