2009 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · LR59 KXT

The 2009 Hyundai I10 has a recent MOT failure dated 2023-02-01, recorded at 93,624 miles. The failure included an offside rear registration plate lamp inoperative (4.7.1 (b) (i)) and windscreen washer jets misaligned (3.5 (a)). These issues suggest ongoing electrical or mechanical faults in the rear lighting and washer system, which are critical for safety and visibility. The same date also shows a passed MOT, but this may reflect a separate test or a data entry error, as dual outcomes on the same day are unusual. The vehicle’s MOT history reveals a pattern of minor, recurring defects rather than systemic failures. In 2021, the car failed due to an offside windscreen wiper not clearing the screen (3.4 (b) (ii)) and a non-working position lamp (4.2.1 (a) (ii)), both of which were likely resolved by 2023. In 2020, tyres showed minor wear and perishing (5.2.3 (d) (ii) and (e)), indicating age-related degradation rather than heavy use. These issues suggest the car has been maintained but may have components nearing the end of their service life. The vehicle’s mileage of 93,624 miles over 17 years equates to approximately 5,507 miles per year, which is low for its age. This could imply lighter use, prolonged periods of inactivity, or infrequent driving.
