2017 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · DS67 MXD

The Hyundai i10 presents a broadly stable maintenance trend, with the most recent test conducted on 10 February 2026 at 66,763 miles resulting in a pass. The only advisory raised was a slightly damaged or frayed Offside Front seat belt webbing under item 7.1.2 (b). This is a minor concern rather than a serious defect, but seat belt integrity is a primary safety item and the webbing should be repaired or the assembly replaced before the next use. There are no current MOT advisories on brakes, suspension, tyres, or structural corrosion, which suggests the car is in presentable mechanical order. The mileage progression is steady and consistent with light urban or suburban use. The vehicle covered 35,710 miles by January 2023, then 46,095 miles by January 2024, 57,799 miles by January 2025, and finally 66,763 miles by February 2026. That equates to roughly 10,000 to 11,000 miles per year over the last three annual tests, which is slightly above the typical annual figure implied by the nine-year average of around 7,418 miles. The step up in recent use is not a problem in itself, but it does mean the car has been driven more actively in the last three years than in the first six, so wear on consumables and suspension components may be catching up. Recurring advisories point to two areas worth checking in person. Inner tyre wear on both front axles appeared in the January 2023 test and again in January 2025, suggesting possible tracking, worn suspension bushes, or steering geometry issues that have not been permanently resolved. A buyer should inspect the inner edges of both front tyres for uneven wear and have the front suspension and steering joints examined for play. The January 2024 advisory for a non-excessive engine oil leak also deserves attention. While it did not cause a failure, oil leaks can worsen over time and may indicate deteriorating gaskets or seals that will require attention if they begin to drip or contaminate other components. Overall, the record shows a car that has been kept roadworthy with no serious structural or mechanical failures. The pattern of minor advisories rather than outright failures suggests routine maintenance has been carried out, but not always in advance of the test. A prospective buyer should focus on the seat belt condition, front tyre wear pattern, and any signs of fresh oil seepage from the engine bay, along with a standard underbody inspection for corrosion given the car’s age.
