Our Hyundai i10 is 7 years old but as a purely local runabout has only covered about 13,000 miles. For various reasons we have been physically unable to drive it for two months but my daughter, on a rare visit, took it for a spin. It started first off but 20 minutes out she found that she was unable to change gear. An RAC man was summoned and, on learning the car's history, decided that the clutch had failed due to over-use and later took it off for repair.
A lesson for anyone thinking a buying a used car on grounds of low mileage.
