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.

The 2021 Hyundai I10 N Line T Gdi passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (90.1% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.

⚠️ About 1 in 12 of these vehicles have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.

For context
✅ Good baseline reliability. A 90.1% first-time pass rate puts this well above the UK average — it's a well-sorted vehicle in this age bracket.
🔧 Expect consumable spend. An average of 1.9 advisories per vehicle tells you wear items (tyres, brakes) get flagged regularly. Budget for them — they're not surprises.
🔍 The dangerous defect figure is real. Most are one-off tyre failures or brake issues — not structural problems. But it's exactly why checking the individual vehicle's history is essential, not optional.

These stats describe 1,018 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
