2021 Hyundai I10 N Line T-GDI 1.0L Petrol · NG71 AOY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a decline in proactive maintenance following two years of clean records. While the car passed its MOT on 15 May 2026 at 29,609 miles, it failed a test that same day due to multiple defects. The transition from a defect-free certificate in 2025 to a multi-point failure now suggests that components are only being addressed once they reach inspection limits. The mileage profile is consistently low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per annum. The data shows steady progression between the June 2024 test at 25,161 miles and the May 2025 test at 27,193 miles, representing only over 2,000 miles in that year. However, low annual mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, which is evident in the recent failure where both rear tyres showed signs of cracking or per due to lack of use rather than tread wear. A buyer must inspect the rear braking system specifically, as the May 2026 test flagged the brake discs as being pitted and scored. Although these were not deemed weak enough to fail the pass, the surface condition suggests corrosion consistent with the vehicle sitting stationary for extended periods. The front windscreen wiper also requires replacement as it failed to clear the glass effectively. Physical inspection of the tyre sidewalls is essential to ensure the cracking has not progressed beyond the advisories, as age-related rubber rot poses a genuine risk of structural failure during driving.
