2021 Hyundai I10 N Line T Gdi

CarHunch analysed 1,018 real MOT records for the 2021 Hyundai I10 N Line T Gdi. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2021 Hyundai i10 N Line T-GDI is a dependable first-time MOT performer, passing at 89.7%—nearly 10 points above the UK average of 80%—with only 10.3% of vehicles ever developing dangerous defects, which is reassuringly low. This petrol engine variant maintains consistent reliability, with petrol cars hitting a 89.5% pass rate across the cohort.

At just under 17,600 miles median mileage for cars that are now roughly three years old, these i10s are running light, which explains the minimal failure rate of 0.32 per vehicle; the real story is in the 1.9 advisories per car, mostly minor wear items rather than structural problems. If you're looking at one, have the adviser list checked during your test drive—it'll tell you whether the previous owner maintained it properly—but overall, this is a low-risk buy for a city car in this age bracket.

What to check before buying a 2021 Hyundai I10 N Line T Gdi

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
