2012 Hyundai I10 Active 1.2L Petrol · WC02 ARC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing its annual inspections. The most recent test on 29 October 2025 at 31,764 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just nine days prior on 20 October 2025 at 31,712 miles. Since no defects were listed for that specific failure, it likely indicates an administrative error or a minor technicality that was rectified immediately, rather than a systemic mechanical or structural failure. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,269 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between October 2022 and October 2023, where the car covered only 2,164 miles in twelve months. Since late 2023, the usage has remained minimal, with fewer than 1,000 miles between annually. This low annual mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it also raises risks associated with age-related degradation of rubber parts and long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that suffer from time rather than distance. Low-mileage cars often exhibit perished suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls, and cracked drive belts due to lack of heat cycling. Inspect the brake discs for pitting and seized calipers, as infrequent use can lead to corrosion on the surfaces. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the structural integrity along the sills and wheel arches is essential to ensure that corrosion has not compromised the chassis despite the clean MOT history.
