2012 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · YR12 ETA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing tests. The most recent inspection on 13 January 2026 at 62,264 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure occurred in early January 2025, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass on the same day suggest that the owner is proactive in addressing faults identified by the tester. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,447 miles annually. Between January 2023 and January 2026, the car covered only 6,258 miles, reflecting a period of very light use or potential extended storage. This low usage typically results in less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, low-mileage can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or the seizing of brake calipers if the vehicle is not driven regularly at varying speeds. Given the clean records from the last three years, a physical inspection should focus on signs of age rather than high-mileage wear. Inspect the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly on the sills and suspension mounting points, as older vehicles are prone to surface rust regardless of distance driven. Check the suspension bushes for cracking and verify the brake discs for pitting, as these parts can perish over time while stationary. Ensure the tyres are not showing significant cracking, as low-mileage cars retain old rubber long before the tread reaches the legal limit.
