Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Hyundai I10 SE Mpi?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2022 Hyundai I10 SE Mpi?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

Based on MOT data from 591 vehicles, the 2022 Hyundai I10 SE Mpi has a first-time MOT pass rate of 94.3%, indicating generally reliable for its class. Always check the full MOT history of any specific vehicle before buying.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2022 Hyundai I10 SE Mpi?

The 2022 Hyundai i10 SE MPI is a notably reliable first-timer, with a 92.4% pass rate that sits well above the UK average of 80%, and only 1.4% of vehicles ever flagged for dangerous defects—a reassuring figure for a budget city car. The petrol engine variant maintains that same strong 92.5% pass rate across the 588 examples tested.

At just under 16,000 miles median mileage for a two-year-old model, these cars are running light, which partly explains the low failure count of 0.12 per vehicle. The 0.5 advisories per car on average suggests routine maintenance is keeping these i10s in good shape, so your main task as a buyer is to verify service history and check for any advisories flagged at recent tests—early attention to minor wear items will keep this car trouble-free.

The 2022 Hyundai I10 SE Mpi passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (94.3% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
