2016 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · NX16 WHC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive care. The most recent test on June 3 2026 at 41,350 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure for a nearside rear indicator and significant front tyre wear. This mirrors the situation from June 2025, where a failed stop lamp caused a rejection, suggesting the owner only addresses electrical and consumable faults once they prevent an MOT pass. At 41,350 miles, this ten-year-old Hyundai has covered very low mileage, averaging approximately 4,135 miles per year. The gap between the March 2024 test at 35,080 miles and the June 2025 test at 38,485 miles shows consistent usage of roughly 3,600 miles over fourteen months. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can also lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and flat-spotting brake discs if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry, as the 2026 test flagged both front tyres as being worn on the inner edges. This specific pattern typically indicates incorrect alignment or worn suspension bushes, which will continue to cause premature tyre replacement if not rectified. Given the recurring electrical failures with indicators and stop lamps, a thorough check of all external lighting and wiring looms is necessary to ensure no deeper corrosion or ingress exists in the circuits. No structural defects or significant corrosion issues were noted in the history, which is positive for a vehicle of this age.
