2021 Hyundai I10 SE Connect MPI Auto 1.2L Petrol · LB71 CXP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a clear pattern of deterioration that warrants immediate inspection. The most recent test on 2025-11-27 at 29,191 miles was passed, which is consistent with the vehicle's age and mileage, indicating that the mechanical integrity has not deteriorated significantly since then. However, the failure on 2024-11-19 at 23,849 miles indicates that the car has been driven for approximately two years since the last MOT, suggesting a potential gap in basic upkeep that could lead to accelerated wear on critical components. Regarding the mileage pattern, while the vehicle has approximately 5,838 miles per year, the record shows a rapid accumulation of miles over just two years. This rapid growth suggests that the car has been driven for a relatively short period, which often correlates with higher consumption of consumables such as brake pads, wiper blades, and windscreen wipers. The fact that the first MOT was passed despite these rapid mileage gains implies that the vehicle has been maintained at a level of care sufficient to prevent immediate catastrophic failure, but the lack of a second MOT in the timeframe raises questions about whether the owner has kept the vehicle in a state of adequate service. Given the recurring faults recorded, the buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical wear. The most significant issues include the brake pads, which have failed to meet the minimum thickness specifications, and the windscreen wipers, which do not clear the windscreen effectively. These components are subject to corrosion and abrasion, which could lead to binding calipers or reduced braking performance. While the front inner tyre has cracked slightly, this is a minor consumable wear that does not indicate a structural failure. However, the absence of a second MOT test on the same date or date range as the first MOT creates a risk of unaccounted wear on the vehicle's suspension and drivetrain, which could compromise handling and safety.
