2009 Hyundai i10 MOT pass rate and common faults

MOT tests in 2025, published 22 Jun 2026. DVSA publishes a new year each summer.

18,071 Hyundai i10 cars first used in 2009 had an MOT in 2025, at about 16 years old, and 58.5% passed first time. That is in line with the 58.3% for all cars first used in 2009.

The year is when the car was first used, as on its V5C log book, not the model year.

Typical mileage
