2017 Hyundai I10 S

CarHunch analysed 129 real MOT records for the 2017 Hyundai I10 S. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2017 Hyundai i10 S passes its MOT at 81.2%, just marginally ahead of the UK average of 80%, with zero vehicles ever flagged for dangerous defects—a genuinely clean safety record. This is a reliable little car by the numbers, though the median MOT score of 50 suggests it's performing at an average level overall, not standing out as exceptional.

At a median mileage of 30,459 miles for a seven-year-old car, these examples are running well below typical wear, which explains the low failure rate of just 0.13 per vehicle and complete absence of advisories. If you're buying one, check the service history carefully to confirm that gentle mileage reflects proper maintenance rather than neglect, as that's the real driver of longevity in a car this age.

What to check before buying a 2017 Hyundai I10 S

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.
