2012 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · WD12 GKY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the documented history over the last five years. The most recent MOT test on 9 August 2022 at 88,463 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. While the record shows a failure entry just two miles prior on the same day, the lack of recorded defects for that failure suggests an administrative error, a technical testing anomaly, or a minor component-related issue that was immediately rectified rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use urban vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per annum. Between July 2019 at 76,017 miles and August 2022 at 88,463 miles, the car covered 12,446 miles over three years. This low annual mileage typically reduces wear on drivetrain components and engine internals compared to higher mileage examples. However, since the last recorded test occurred nearly four years ago in 2022, the vehicle is significantly overdue for its annual certification, which necessitates an immediate inspection to verify the current state of its safety-critical systems. Because the MOT history shows no recurring issues with structural integrity or brake components, an in-person inspection should focus on the effects of age and potential periods of inactivity. A buyer should specifically check rubber components, such as suspension bushes and split boots, for cracking or degradation which occurs when vehicles sit stationary. Given the gap in testing, it is also vital to inspect for corrosion on the brake discs and the condition of the tyres, as low-mileage cars often suffer from flat spots or perished rot despite sufficient tread depth.
