2012 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · YR62 ABU

This Hyundai i10 has maintained a consistent MOT pass record over the past four tests, with no defects or advisories recorded in the most recent examination conducted on 2 June 2025 at 42,605 miles. The vehicle’s roadworthiness status remains stable, though the absence of any recorded issues does not preclude underlying wear—particularly in high-wear components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers, which are not routinely tested for minor degradation. The most recent test occurred just over a year ago, which is within the standard MOT validity period, but the lack of advisories or defects suggests either diligent servicing or deferred maintenance that has yet to manifest in testable failures. The recorded mileage of 42,605 miles over 14 years—approximately 3,043 miles annually—indicates unusually light usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage increments between tests are consistent, with roughly 2,218 miles accumulated between each MOT, suggesting the car has been driven regularly without prolonged periods of inactivity. There are no red flags in the spacing of tests, and the low mileage implies reduced exposure to wear on critical components like the drivetrain, exhaust system, or engine internals. However, low mileage can also indicate long periods of storage, which may have contributed to issues like seized suspension joints or degraded fluids if the vehicle was not properly maintained during off-road periods. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension components, including the condition of coil springs, bushes, and dampers, as these are often overlooked in low-mileage vehicles that may have been stationary for extended periods. The brakes should be closely examined for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the disc surfaces, as even light use can lead to hidden corrosion if the vehicle was exposed to moisture. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should also be assessed for signs of rust penetration, which can compromise the chassis even in low-mileage cars. Finally, the exhaust system should be checked for leaks or excessive corrosion, as this is a common failure point in older models, regardless of mileage.
