Our Verdict
A highly recommended purchase for those seeking a reliable, low-mileage city car. This specific red i20 presents an exceptionally clean record with very consistent usage patterns.
Given the lack of defects in the MOT history, your primary focus should be on the service record. Ensure the oil has been changed regularly, as low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from infrequent servicing. Check for any signs of age-related perishables, such as cracked rubber hoses or worn wiper blades, which may not always trigger an MOT failure but affect longevity.
Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and the battery. Since the car covers relatively few miles per year (approximately 2,000 miles based on recent data), the components may wear out due to age rather than use. A full service history will be the key to securing the top end of the market value for this vehicle.
The 1396cc petrol engine is economical for its class, offering reasonable MPG for urban commuting. Being a 2010 model, it falls into a standard tax bracket for its era, and the i20 is generally known for being in a low insurance group, making it an affordable option for new drivers.
Maintenance costs are typically low for this model, as it avoids the complexities of turbocharging or hybrid systems. Expect modest annual spend on consumables and a yearly MOT, with the overall cost of ownership remaining very competitive.
While the MOT history shows no recorded defects as of March 2026, always inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion, which is common in low-mileage vehicles. Check the red paintwork for any fading or clear-coat peel, particularly on the roof and bonnet, as red is prone to UV degradation over 16 years.
Perform a cold start to ensure the engine runs smoothly and check for any leaks around the engine bay. Although the MOTs are clean, a physical inspection of the suspension bushings and tyre tread depths will confirm if the car has been maintained to the same standard as its official test records suggest.
This 2010 Hyundai i20 is in impressive condition for its age, showing a remarkably clean MOT history with no recorded defects across recent tests. With only 76,383 miles on the clock, it has been used sparingly over the last 16 years. The 1.4L petrol engine provides a balanced blend of urban agility and motorway capability.
The Hyundai i20 from this era is generally regarded as a sturdy and dependable supermini, though specific aggregate data for this generation is limited.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2010 model year cars.
- DPF and EGR clogging on 1.4 CRDiModerate
The diesel suits motorway use, but repeated short trips clog the EGR and DPF, leading to limp mode, poor economy and expensive catch-up work on cheap town cars.
- Front springs, bushes and drop links wearing outModerate
Age and rough UK roads catch the PB at the front axle. Broken spring ends, worn lower-arm bushes and noisy drop links are far more common than serious engine trouble.
