2020 Hyundai I10 SE Connect MPI Auto 1.2L Petrol · EY20 WMC

The 2020 Hyundai i10 SE Connect MPI Auto is currently roadworthy following its most recent MOT on 2026-06-08, passing with minor advisories related to tyre condition. However, the maintenance trend is worsening, as the last three MOTs have progressively highlighted tyre degradation, with all four tyres now showing significant cracking and splitting, and two front tyres approaching or at the legal tread limit. This indicates a pattern of neglect in tyre maintenance, which could compromise safety and handling, especially given the vehicle's low mileage and relatively recent age. The recorded mileage of 18,996 miles over six years equates to approximately 3,166 miles per year, which is low for a vehicle of this age. The MOT history shows consistent intervals between tests, with no signs of rapid mileage accumulation or long periods of inactivity. The gap between the 2024-02-23 and 2025-03-01 tests is slightly longer than the others, but the overall pattern suggests regular use rather than prolonged storage. The absence of defects in the 2023 and 2024 tests implies the vehicle was well-maintained during those periods, though tyre care appears to have declined in the past year. Buyers should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common wear points on this model and may have deteriorated due to the low mileage and potential lack of use. The binding rear brakes flagged in the most recent MOT also warrant attention, as this could indicate seized calipers or worn brake pads. Additionally, the structural integrity of the body should be checked for signs of corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and underbody, as Hyundai i10s can be susceptible to rust in certain conditions. The nearside rear tyre’s cut, while not reaching the cords, should be monitored for potential internal damage or weakening.
