Our Verdict
A sensible choice for city driving, thou
When inspecting this specific i10, pay close attention to the tyres. The most recent MOT in June 2026 flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit and worn on the inner edges. This could indicate an alignment issue or simply a need for immediate replacement.
Ask the seller if the four corroded coil springs noted in the July 2025 MOT have been replaced, as this is a known maintenance item for this model. Additionally, verify the service history to ensure the 1.2L engine has been regularly maintained, given that the mileage is well above the aggregate average for this model year.
The 1248cc petrol engine is generally economical for urban environments, making it suitable for low-speed commuting. Being a 2009 model, tax and insurance groups are typically modest, though buyers should check the specific insurance group for AV09YRR.
Maintenance costs for the i10 are usually manageable, but be prepared for wear-and-tear items like tyres and suspension components, which have appeared in recent MOT records. Estimated annual running costs are relatively low for a petrol hatchback of this era.
Start by checking the suspension components. The 2025 MOT record explicitly noted that all four coil springs were corroded, so ensure any replacement work was carried out professionally. You should also inspect the front tyres; the 2026 MOT highlighted uneven wear on the inner edges, which suggests you should check the wheel alignment/tracking.
Finally, check the headlamp alignment. While the 2023 failure for high headlamp aim was resolved, it is worth ensuring the lights are correctly aimed and the lenses are clear of significant oxidation, as lighting is a common failure point for this model aggregate.
This 2009 blue Hyundai i10 has covered 63,779 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 4,726 miles per year. While it has faced specific issues like coil spring corrosion in 2025 and tyre wear in 2026, the vehicle has maintained a consistent pass rate. The 1.2L petrol engine offers a more robust option than the smaller displacement variants.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 80.8% MOT pass rate, with common failures relating to headlamps, suspension arms, and brake discs.
