2021 Hyundai I10 N Line T-GDI 1.0L Petrol · MJ21 WDG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its latest test in March 2026 at 27,840 miles, it failed just that same day due to a structural failure in a rear tyre. This sequence suggests that the owner only addresses defects when forced to do so by an MOT tester. The overall trend remains inconsistent, as multiple failures related to tyre condition and visibility have appeared across the last three years of testing. At 27,840 miles over five years, the car has covered a low average distance of approximately 5,500 miles per year. This low usage typically implies less mechanical strain on the engine and gearbox, but it explains the recurring issues with rubber components. Between the March 2024 test at 15,269 miles and the March 2025 test at 21,190 miles, the vehicle showed consistent perishing and cracking of the tyres, a common symptom of vehicles that sit for long periods or undergo short trips despite low mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres, as the record shows a history of perishing, uneven wear, and a recent structural tear. The front inner edge wear noted in 2024 indicates a potential wheel alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be checked to prevent further premature scrubbing. The windscreen wiper blades also require attention, as they previously failed to clear the glass effectively. Additionally, the frequent need for headlamp aiming and adjustment across every test suggests the lighting assemblies may be loose or the alignment is unstable, which should be verified to ensure safe night driving.
