Our Verdict
This 2011 Hyundai i10 presents a mixed p
When inspecting this i10, verify whether the brake pipe corrosion noted on the October 2025 test at 103,996 miles has been addressed, as the records indicate they were covered in grease or another material. Check the front suspension arms and ball joint dust covers closely, given previous history in 2022 and 2023 involving slight play and severe deterioration. Ensure you inspect the complete service history documentation to cross-reference against the mileage milestones recorded at each annual MOT test.
Equipped with a 1,248cc petrol engine, this i10 falls into a modest insurance group and benefits from reasonable fuel economy typical of city hatchbacks. Road tax band depends on its specific CO2 emissions, but similarly specified 1.25L models generally attract moderate annual VED rates. Maintenance costs should remain manageable, though allowance must be made for replacing aging consumable parts such as brake lines and suspension components highlighted in recent test logs.
Estimated annual running costs are approximately £1,000-£1,200, factoring in fuel, standard maintenance, insurance, and road tax based on average UK driving habits.
Pay close attention to the nearside and offside rear brake pipes, which were flagged in October 2025 for corrosion and being covered in grease or other material. Inspect the front lower suspension arms, as model aggregate data highlights suspension arms as a top failure reason, and this vehicle has previous advisory history regarding ball joints and dust covers in 2022 and 2023. Check all exterior lighting elements and headlamp condition, which form another common area for MOT failure across the i10 model range.
First registered in December 2011, this white 1.25L petrol Hyundai i10 has covered 103,996 miles as of its October 2025 MOT test. The vehicle has maintained an unbroken record of passing its annual MOT tests at the first attempt across the five recorded years between 2021 and 2025. However, recurring advisories regarding suspension components and brake pipe corrosion require attention from prospective buyers.
The Hyundai i10 demonstrates solid durability in aggregate data with an average MOT pass rate of 80.7%, though common problem areas include headlamps and suspension arms.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2011 model year cars.
- Premature clutch wearModerate
Small clutches and heavy town use mean many i10s need a clutch earlier than buyers expect, especially ex-driving-school or multi-owner cars.
- Rear brake binding and handbrake-cable seizureModerate
Rear drums or calipers can stick if the car is used mostly for short trips, causing drag, hot wheels and MOT brake-imbalance failures.
