RE63 ADO MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2013 Hyundai I10 (RE63 ADO) between January 2024 and December 2025.
The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 02 December 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (4 issues), Suspension (3 issues), Lighting (1 issue), Tyres (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 6 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Outer Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (5.2.3 (d) (i))”; “Nearside Front Shock absorbers likely to become detached (5.3.2 (a) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”.

Our Verdict
This 2013 Hyundai i10 represents fair va
Given the December 2025 MOT failure on front suspension components and brake pipe corrosion, you must insist on a pre-purchase inspection by an independent garage before committing. The brake pipe corrosion item is particularly important — corroded brake pipes are a safety-critical issue and the garage may have simply greased over the problem rather than replacing the affected section. Budget at least £300-£500 for front brake pipe replacement, shock absorber work, anti-roll bar linkage repair, and a new tyre if these have not been addressed since the failure. The 2024 stop lamp failure was a relatively minor bulb-related issue, but it is worth confirming all bulbs currently function during a viewing.
With such low annual mileage (around 2,160 miles versus the 4,726 average), this car has likely seen short journeys only — which can actually accelerate corrosion on underbody components due to limited drying time. Ask the seller about usage patterns and storage. Given the age of the vehicle and the nature of the recent defects, a thorough test drive paying attention to brake feel, any knocking from the front suspension over bumps, and uneven tyre wear is essential. The Hyundai i10 has a strong reputation for reliability in aggregate data, but this individual vehicle's recent MOT record shows it needs attention now.
The 2013 Hyundai i10 1.25 petrol is one of the most economical small cars on UK roads, typically returning 50-57 mpg in real-world driving. Road tax is free as this vehicle falls within the pre-2017 zero-rate band, though it will move to the standard £195 rate once it becomes 40 years old. Insurance sits in group 4-5, making it one of the cheapest cars to insure on the market — ideal for younger or city-based drivers.
Annual maintenance costs are typically modest for an i10, but this particular vehicle is showing front suspension and brake pipe corrosion at just 28,000 miles, which is unusually early and likely environment-related rather than mileage-related. Budget £400-£600 for routine maintenance in the coming year, with potential additional spend of £300-£500 for the brake pipe and suspension items flagged in the recent MOT. Overall estimated annual running cost, assuming moderate use and one major service, is around £800-£1,100.
Start with a close physical inspection of the front brake pipes, particularly where they run along the chassis and near the suspension components — corrosion here was flagged in the December 2025 test and the 'covered in grease' advisory suggests a temporary fix rather than replacement. Inspect the offside front shock absorber spring seat for visible corrosion and check the nearside front shock absorber mounting for any signs of detachment, as this was an MOT failure item. The anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover should be examined for splits or tears allowing dirt ingress.
Check the tyres carefully for cuts exposing ply or cords, as an offside front tyre failed on this point in December 2025. Examine both rear brake assemblies for binding — the January 2024 pass noted binding on both rear service brakes, which while not failing, suggests the rear brake mechanism may need cleaning or adjustment. Beyond the MOT-flagged items, general age-related checks should include coolant and brake fluid condition, the condition of the timing chain (the 1.25 engine uses a chain rather than a belt), and any signs of accident repair on this 13-year-old car.
This silver 2013 Hyundai i10 with the 1.248-litre petrol engine has covered just 28,096 miles over nearly 13 years of use, working out at roughly 2,160 miles per year — well under the Hyundai i10 model average of 4,726 miles annually. The MOT record shows three tests in 2024-2025 with two failures and one pass, indicating the vehicle is not in a trouble-free state. The most recent test on 2 December 2025 passed but flagged corrosion on the front brake pipe and a corroded offside front shock absorber spring seat, suggesting age-related deterioration is setting in.
The Hyundai i10 has a strong reputation for reliability with an 80.8% MOT pass rate across over 240,000 vehicles analysed, though headlamp, suspension arm, and brake disc issues appear frequently as failure reasons across the model range.
