2022 Hyundai I10 SE Connect MPI 1.0L Petrol · LY22 DBX

The vehicle is currently unworkworthy following a significant MOT failure on 27 July 2026. While the car maintained a clean record in the previous year, the most recent inspection indicates a sharp decline in maintenance standards. The presence of multiple safety-critical failures, including a non-functional seat belt and a compromised front tyre, suggests a lack of pre-test inspection and general oversight regarding consumables by the current owner. At 25,898 miles, the vehicle has averaged approximately 6,474 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a four-year-old car. The gap between the July 2025 test at 18,176 miles and the July 2026 test shows an accumulation of 7,722 miles. This consistent low mileage suggests minimal mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine, yet the recent failures prove that low mileage has not translated into proactive mechanical or upkeep. A buyer must inspect the offside front tyre and rim specifically, as the tester flagged both a deep cut reaching the cords and uneven wear on the edge, which often points to alignment issues or incorrect inflation. The failure of the nearside front seat belt requires a mechanical check of the retractor mechanism to ensure it is not seized or damaged. Additionally, the windscreen damage noted in the advisory should be monitored for spreading, requiring replacement to prevent further structural failure of the glass.
