2012 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · SB62 GVO

The 2012 Hyundai I10 demonstrates a recent roadworthiness status of PASSED in its most recent 2025-08-14 test at 50,466 miles, with no defects recorded. However, the immediate prior test on 2025-08-13 at 50,463 miles resulted in a FAIL despite also showing no defects, creating an inconsistent trend. This suggests either a data anomaly or a marginal compliance issue that resolved rapidly. The absence of recorded defects in both tests implies the vehicle met baseline safety standards, but the lack of detailed fault reporting limits insight into underlying mechanical health. The vehicle’s mileage of 50,466 miles over 14 years equates to an average of 3,605 miles annually, significantly below typical usage for its age. Notable gaps exist between MOT tests, such as the 10,437-mile increase from 2023-09-27 (35,736 miles) to 2024-08-19 (46,173 miles), spanning 11 months. This irregularity, combined with low annual mileage, raises concerns about potential component degradation from infrequent use, including corrosion in suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers. The lack of recurring defects in the record does not confirm mechanical stability, as minor issues may have been overlooked. A buyer should prioritize in-person inspection of the suspension system for worn bushes or binding calipers, which could manifest as uneven tyre wear or braking inefficiency. The exhaust system and body panels should be checked for corrosion, as low mileage often correlates with prolonged inactivity. Additionally, verify the battery’s condition and fluid levels, as stagnant operation can accelerate deterioration. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the sparse defect reporting and irregular testing intervals necessitate a thorough mechanical assessment to confirm the vehicle’sTrue state.
