2018 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · AP18 EYX

The vehicle's roadworthiness is currently compromised by a recurring failure of the nearside daytime running lamp, which has been flagged in the September 2024 test at 8,980 miles. This defect indicates a potential systemic issue with the electrical or lighting system rather than a single component failure, suggesting that basic upkeep may have been skipped during the ownership period. The consistent history of passing tests in 2025 and 2023, followed by a failed attempt in 2024, suggests that while the vehicle passed initial checks, the underlying electrical reliability has deteriorated. The maintenance trend appears to be improving rather than worsening, as the vehicle has maintained a clean MOT record in 2025 and 2023 before the recent failure. However, the rapid mileage accumulation over the past two years, particularly the 8,980-mile gap, indicates that the vehicle has accumulated wear on consumables and components without sufficient regular servicing. This pattern raises a concern for the drivetrain and suspension, as the lack of maintenance between the 2023 and 2024 tests could lead to accelerated failure of these critical parts. Given the recurring failure of the nearside daytime running lamp and the significant mileage gap since the previous clean MOT, a buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension and braking systems in person. The tester flagged binding rear brakes and binding front brakes in the September 2023 test, which are serious mechanical risks that require immediate professional assessment before the vehicle is put into service. The vehicle's structural integrity and electrical systems must be evaluated to determine if the brake binding condition is a result of the lamp issue or a more fundamental mechanical problem.
