2017 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · 5507 MP

The current roadworthiness of this Hyundai i10 is stable, though the recent MOT history indicates a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. While the vehicle passed its most recent inspection on 11 February 2026 at 68,290 miles, the initial failure on the same day due to tyre condition and headlamp alignment suggests that basic pre-test checks were neglected. The transition from a clean pass in November 2025 to a failure in February 2026 highlights a disregard for consumable wear, particularly concerning the tyres. The recorded mileage of 68,290 miles over nine years aligns with typical usage patterns for this class of vehicle. The accumulation of roughly 9,000 miles between February 2025 and February 2026 indicates consistent, moderate use. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, which suggests the vehicle has remained in regular service and has not been subjected to long periods of inactivity that might otherwise lead to seized components or accelerated corrosion of the underbody. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the rear braking system, as the February 2025 test flagged thin pads and pitted discs. Although these items were not cited as defects in the most recent test, their previous condition warrants a check to ensure they were replaced rather than simply ignored. Furthermore, the recurring issues with tyre wear and perishing suggest the vehicle may have alignment or suspension geometry concerns that remain unaddressed. Inspect the inner edges of all four tyres for uneven wear patterns and verify that the headlamp aim has been correctly adjusted, as the recent failure indicates potential underlying issues with the headlamp mounting or adjustment mechanisms.
