I10 Premium Mpi Auto: a strong MOT record by UK norms
Across 581 MOT tests, the I10 Premium Mpi Auto returns 89.5% first-time pass — comfortably ahead of the UK fleet average. The single most-logged Major fail is a defective wiper blade. Wipers that don't clear the screen and a tyre with the cords showing round out the top three. Average tested mileage sits at 13,281, which is the lens to read those failure rankings through. If you own one and the next test is close, the ranked list below is a sensible pre-test checklist.
