2009 Hyundai i10: MOT pass rate and common faults
Share of initial MOT tests passed with no repairs. Repairs made at the test centre count as a fail. 95% range 57.8% to 59.2% (±0.8 points).
That is about average: the difference from the average for all vehicles first used in 2009 (58.3%) is within the margin of error. These cars were about 16 years old at the test.
