2016 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · DS66 DXK

The vehicle presents a mixed maintenance profile with a clear deterioration trend. The most recent test on 2026-02-16 in 66,739 miles was passed, indicating that the mechanical integrity of the chassis and drivetrain has been maintained up to that point. However, the history reveals a significant gap between 2024-03-01 and 2025-02-28, where the car failed on the front registration plate at 56,623 miles, suggesting that the vehicle has been neglected or serviced without addressing the specific requirement for this component. This lapse in maintenance is likely a precursor to future failures, as the absence of a recorded MOT entry for the 2025-02-28 test suggests that the vehicle was not properly inspected or maintained during that period. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle is approximately 10 years old with a mileage of 66,739 miles, which is consistent with typical usage for this age group. The data indicates a rapid acceleration of mileage over time, with the most recent test occurring in 2026-02-16. This rapid accumulation of miles suggests that the vehicle has experienced significant wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, as the mileage has not been maintained at the same level for a full year. The fact that the vehicle passed only two of the five MOT tests implies that the mechanical condition has deteriorated in the last two years, with the most recent test failing on the registration plate and the one prior to it failing on the front tyre, highlighting a consistent pattern of reduced mechanical performance. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical wear, specifically focusing on the suspension, brakes, and exhaust systems, which are the most common failure points for this age group. The history shows that the front registration plate has deteriorated, potentially leading to misreading or non-compliance with safety standards, which is a serious structural issue that requires immediate attention. The lack of a MOT entry for the 2025-02-28 test suggests that the vehicle may be in an unsafe condition if it continues to drive, as the lack of a recorded test implies a lack of maintenance for the suspension and braking components. Therefore, the vehicle is not roadworthy at this time and requires a professional inspection to assess the condition of the suspension, brakes, and exhaust emissions before a buyer can proceed.
