2021 Hyundai I10 Premium MPI Auto 1.2L Petrol · JT63 DEC

The Hyundai i10 presents a stable and improving roadworthiness profile heading into mid-2026. The most recent test on 11 November 2025 at 23,492 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester flagged perished rear tyres and a worn offside front tyre. These are consumable items rather than structural or mechanical failures, and the fact that the car passed cleanly in both November 2023 at 5,055 miles and November 2024 at 12,907 miles demonstrates a consistent record of compliance. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, with no recurring mechanical defects across the three entries. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of light use. Between November 2023 and November 2024, the car covered 7,852 miles. In the following twelve months to November 2025, it added 10,585 miles, a notable step up in usage. Even so, the total of 23,492 miles over roughly five years remains well below the UK average. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows accelerated wear on consumables, which is entirely consistent with the increased mileage. There are no suspicious odometer anomalies or long undocumented gaps in the record. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the condition of the tyres and the front suspension geometry. The offside front tyre worn on the edge at the last test suggests possible tracking misalignment or uneven wear patterns that may have recurred since November 2025. The rear tyres flagged for perishing also warrant close examination, particularly if the car has spent periods stationary. Beyond the flagged items, inspect the brake discs and pads for uneven wear given the step change in mileage over the past year, and check the suspension bushes and coil springs for any deterioration that might not yet have reached an MOT failure threshold. The clean structural record across all three tests is reassuring, but a thorough test drive covering braking, steering feel, and suspension compliance remains essential.
