2012 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · YF62 TNE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a concerning trend of escalating corrosion and component wear. While the most recent test on December 10,2025 at 39,915 miles was a pass, it followed a failure for basic lighting issues and a noted oil leak. The December 2024 failure was particularly significant, revealing multiple brake pipe failures and suspension wear which indicate that the vehicle's underbody is beginning to degrade despite the low annual mileage. At 39,915 miles over 14 years, this Hyundai has covered exceptionally low distances, averaging approximately 2,851 miles per year. This low usage pattern often suggests the vehicle has spent long periods in state of inactivity, which frequently correlates with the type of corrosion observed in the records. Between December 2023 and December 2024, the car covered only 1,328 miles, yet during this period, the lack of use did not prevent the age-related degradation of rubber components and metal lines. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the entire braking system and suspension geometry. The record highlights a persistent history of excessive corrosion on brake pipes at both the nearside and offside rear locations, as well as the nearside front pipe. The tester also flagged an excessively worn offside front lower suspension arm ball joint in 2024, suggesting that rubber seals are reaching the end of their service life. The oil leak noted in the December 2025 test requires close monitoring to determine if it is a minor seal weep or a more significant failure that could lead to engine damage.
