Hyundai I10 (2017)
2017 Hyundai I10
CarHunch analysed 23,974 real MOT records for the 2017 Hyundai I10. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2017 Hyundai i10 is a reliable performer, with an 88.7% first-time pass rate that beats the UK average of 80% by a meaningful margin. However, one in five of these cars (21.3%) have picked up a dangerous defect at some point, which is a genuine concern for buyers and worth investigating on any used example.
These i10s are typically low-mileage at around 28,000 miles for their age, suggesting light urban use, but they still accumulate an average of 6.4 advisories per vehicle—mostly minor wear items rather than serious failures. When shopping for one, always ask for the full MOT history and get a pre-purchase inspection to check the dangerous defect record, especially around braking and steering components.
What to check before buying a 2017 Hyundai I10
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.
- ⚠️ 21.3% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
