2012 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · RJ62 KCG

The 2025‑12‑03 MOT at 61,170 miles resulted in a failure for non‑functional near‑side front position lamp and inoperative registration plate lamp, indicating that the vehicle was not roadworthy at the time of the latest test, despite a clean pass at 57,436 miles in December 2024. The recent failure reverses the stable, defect‑free record observed since the 2022 test, suggesting a modest worsening of condition. Mileage has risen from 33,572 miles in November 2018 to 61,170 miles in December 2025, an increase of 27,598 miles over seven years, averaging about 3,943 miles per year; however, the jump from 47,466 miles in December 2022 to 61,170 miles in December 2025 represents an acceleration of roughly 4,565 miles per year in the most recent three‑year span, while earlier intervals such as 2020‑2021 showed a more modest 2,289 miles annually, indicating periods of intensified use. A buyer should therefore inspect the lighting system for wiring or bulb defects, verify tyre tread depth and condition given the repeated 1.6 mm shortfalls, examine brake pads and discs for wear consistent with the 2019 and 2021 records, and check suspension bushes, coil springs and wheel bearings for play or binding, as indicated by the 2020 bearing fault and 2023 wiper effectiveness issue. Overall, the vehicle’s low average annual mileage does not guarantee low wear; the pattern of recurring lighting, tyre, brake and suspension advisories points to intermittent maintenance neglect, and a thorough physical inspection is essential before purchase.
