2020 Hyundai I10 SE Connect MPI Auto 1.2L Petrol · LT20 KHF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear decline regarding tyre-related upkeep. While it passed its most recent test in February 2026 at 5,144 miles, the tester flagged multiple defects across all four tyres, including cracking and perishing. The presence of a nail in the offside rear and an underinflated tyre on that same date indicates that while the car is mechanically functional, the rubber components are suffering from age-related neglect. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 857 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-use patterns, moving from 1,896 miles in 2023 to 5,144 miles by early 2026. This low mileage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the engine, gearbox, and suspension components. However, the long intervals between miles often accelerate the degradation of dry-service components and rubber, which explains the perishing tyre issues noted in the two most recent MOT tests despite the low tread depth. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the tyres, as the recurring advisories for cracking and perishing suggest they are reaching the end of their structural life regardless of remaining tread. The inspector should also check the brake discs for corrosion or seizing, as low-mileage vehicles that sit for long periods often develop surface rust. Given the clean records from 2023 and 2024, the primary risks are limited to age-related material fatigue rather than mechanical failure or structural instability.
