2020 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · FN20 LKX

The 2020 Hyundai i10 holds a valid MOT, passed at its most recent test on 5 March 2026 at 40,872 miles, with two minor advisories flagged at that check: an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge, and offside rear brake pads wearing thin. The maintenance trend across the four recorded tests is stable but slowly worsening, with no major structural or mechanical failures noted to date, though recurring consumable wear and a new brake-related advisory indicate routine upkeep has not been fully proactive. The vehicle’s recorded mileage aligns closely with typical use for its age, sitting at 40,872 miles after roughly 6 years of operation, an average of around 6,812 miles per year. Mileage accumulation between annual MOT checks is consistent, with no unexplained gaps between test dates or sudden spikes in recorded miles that would suggest unlogged heavy use or periods of disuse, and the data set is clean with no missing MOT entries. Increments between tests range from 5,819 to 7,100 miles per year, all in line with expected annual use for a vehicle of this class. The recurring front tyre edge wear noted in the 21,577-mile test on 20 February 2023, the 28,677-mile test on 29 February 2024, and the most recent 2026 advisory points to an unresolved underlying issue, most likely consistent underinflation, worn suspension bushes, or misalignment that has not been corrected across multiple ownership periods. A buyer should inspect front suspension components including track rod ends, lower arm bushes, and verify wheel alignment specs in person, as this persistent wear pattern will accelerate tyre replacement and could impact handling if left unaddressed. The 2026 advisory for thin offside rear brake pads means a buyer must verify rear pad depth and inspect rear brake discs for scoring, binding, or excessive wear during a pre-purchase check, as pad wear can be uneven if calipers are sticking. No structural corrosion or major mechanical failures were flagged in any of the four recorded MOT tests, but a buyer should still check common rust points on the i10’s underbody and rear wheel arches, and confirm all four tyres have adequate tread depth with no unreported puncture repairs or sidewall damage, particularly given the nail in the nearside rear tyre noted at the 34,496-mile test on 6 March 2025 and the current offside front tyre being close to the legal limit.
