2012 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · SD12 HMU

The vehicle currently holds a PASSED MOT rating on 2026-04-07, indicating that the most recent inspection was conducted at 52,045 miles. This test was performed shortly after the vehicle's registration date, suggesting the MOT history is relatively recent and not indicative of a significant deterioration trend. The test results show no serious mechanical failures; however, the maintenance history reveals a pattern of intermittent issues where components were inspected and found to be in fair condition, such as the oil mist on the rear shock absorbers, which implies that basic upkeep was likely performed but may not have been sufficient to prevent minor wear. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle has maintained a consistent record of approximately 3,718 miles per year, which is consistent with its age and usage. While the mileage is low, it does not guarantee safety, as the vehicle has experienced a significant gap in MOT testing between the 2024-03-29 and 2023-04-05 tests. The 2023-04-05 test on the same date as the 2026-04-07 test failed, indicating that the vehicle was not inspected in the same manner as the previous year. This gap suggests that the owner may have skipped a MOT or performed it at an interval that did not account for the vehicle's age, potentially leading to the accumulation of wear on critical components. In conclusion, the vehicle is roadworthy but requires careful inspection. Given the recurring faults, particularly the corroded suspension arm and brake pipe, the owner should visit a professional mechanic to assess the structural integrity of the chassis and drive train. The presence of binding brake binding and uneven axle 2 brakes indicates that the brake system may need to be checked for balanced wear or excessive corrosion. A thorough visual inspection is recommended to verify the condition of the front and rear tyres, suspension bushings, and alignment, as these components are prone to failure if not maintained according to the specific maintenance history provided.
