2016 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · WR66 CWK

The Hyundai i10’s most recent MOT test on 2025-05-06 at 62,216 miles confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects, maintaining a consistent pass trend across all five tests since 2022. The absence of advisories or recurring failures suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing, though the near-identical mileage at the 2022 retest (48,429 to 48,431 miles) hints at a brief delay in scheduling—likely a minor oversight rather than neglect. No structural or mechanical issues have been flagged, but the lack of advisories in prior tests means critical components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers have not been explicitly cleared beyond basic MOT standards. The mileage progression of approximately 6,200 miles annually aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. The gap between the 2022 failure and subsequent pass (just one day apart) is unusual but may reflect administrative error rather than mechanical delay. There is no evidence of excessive wear or deferred maintenance, though the consistent annual mileage implies regular driving rather than short-term storage. A buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, given their common failure points in this model. Brake discs and pads, while not failed in MOTs, should be checked for uneven wear or binding—especially if the vehicle has been driven hard. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and sills, warrants scrutiny, as does the exhaust system for leaks or excessive rust, given the vehicle’s age. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these areas are flawless, so visual and functional checks are essential.
