2021 Hyundai I10 SE Connect Mpi

CarHunch analysed 2,941 real MOT records for the 2021 Hyundai I10 SE Connect Mpi. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2021 Hyundai i10 SE Connect MPI is a strong performer in its first MOT cycle, passing at 88.9% versus the UK average of 80%, and dangerous defects are rare at just 3.4% of vehicles. This petrol-only cohort shows consistent reliability with its 88.5% pass rate holding steady across the board.

At just 17,080 miles median, these cars are still relatively young and lightly driven, which naturally supports high pass rates and means you're looking at vehicles in genuinely early-life condition. The low failure rate of 0.33 per vehicle and modest advisory count of 1.0 per car suggest this model is straightforward to maintain—worth checking for routine fluid services and tyre condition, but don't expect major issues at this mileage.

What to check before buying a 2021 Hyundai I10 SE Connect Mpi

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.
