I10 Se Connect Mpi Auto: a strong MOT record by UK norms
Across 860 MOT tests, the I10 Se Connect Mpi Auto returns 90.2% 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 windscreen damage round out the top three. Average tested mileage sits at 13,252, 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.
