2021 Hyundai I10 SE Connect MPI 1.0L Petrol · KT21 ACU

This Hyundai i10 has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness over its MOT history, with all three most recent tests—including the latest on 18 March 2026 at 47,250 miles—passing without any recorded defects or advisories. The absence of recurring issues across three consecutive tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though no evidence of proactive servicing or wear-and-tear monitoring is present. The most recent test occurred just four months ago, placing it within the optimal window for current roadworthiness, though buyers should verify whether the current owner has addressed any minor wear items (e.g., wiper blades, bulbs) since then. The mileage progression of approximately 9,450 miles per year aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age, without any abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. The most notable gap is between the 2024 test at 34,038 miles and the 2025 test at 40,107 miles—a nine-month interval covering 6,069 miles—which is slightly longer than the subsequent 7,143 miles between 2025 and 2026. While this does not indicate neglect, it implies the vehicle was not serviced or inspected in that period, leaving potential wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake components unaddressed. The lack of advisories in any test means no critical failures were deferred, but standard components like brake pads, tyres, and suspension parts will require closer inspection. Given the clean MOT record, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on consumable items that are not routinely tested by the MOT regime. Brake pads and discs—especially the rear, which often wear unevenly on this model—should be checked for thickness and binding, as the MOT does not measure pad friction material beyond a 1.5mm minimum. Suspension bushes and coil springs, though not MOT-tested, may show signs of cracking or excessive play after nearly 50,000 miles, particularly at the rear. Tyres warrant scrutiny for uneven wear, which could indicate alignment issues or worn suspension components. Structural corrosion, while uncommon on this model, should be inspected at wheel arches, sills, and underbody seams, as prolonged standing or salt exposure could accelerate deterioration. The absence of advisories does not preclude these areas from requiring attention.
