Our Verdict
This is a highly recommended example of a Hyundai i10 due to its exceptionally low mileage. While the MOT history shows some recent minor failures, the most recent results are completely clean.
Given the very low mileage of 33,848, your primary focus should be on how the car has been maintained during long periods of inactivity. Low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from dried-out rubber components or seized brakes; ensure you check the service history to see if oil changes were performed annually despite the low usage.
When negotiating, ask if any major service items like the cambelt or water pump have been addressed, as these are often time-sensitive rather than mileage-sensitive. Because this is the 1248cc engine variant, it is more capable for motorway driving than the smaller 1.0L models, but ensure the clutch feels smooth, as low-use cars can sometimes develop clutch drag.
The 1.2L petrol engine offers a balance of city drivability and reasonable economy. You can expect a typical insurance group for this model to be relatively low, making it an affordable option for newer drivers or those seeking low fixed costs.
Maintenance costs for the i10 are generally predictable, though you should budget for consumables like tyres and brakes. Based on the model aggregate data, suspension components and lighting are common areas of attention. Total annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and maintenance, are estimated to be modest.
While the most recent MOTs show no defects, the history indicates two failures in early 2024. You should specifically inspect the lighting units and headlamps, as 'headlamp' is a top failure reason for this model aggregate.
Additionally, check the condition of the tyres and suspension arms. Even if the MOT passed recently, the 2024 failures suggest these areas have required attention in the past. Given the low mileage, check for any signs of perished rubber seals or ageing suspension bushings that may have degraded due to age rather than wear.
Registered in March 2013, this silver 1.2L petrol Hyundai i10 has covered just 33,848 miles in 13 years, which is significantly lower than the model average of 4,738 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of intermittent failures for minor issues, but the two most recent tests in 2024 and 2025 recorded no defects. This suggests a vehicle that has been used sparingly and remains in a relatively fresh state for its age.
The Hyundai i10 shows an 80.8% average MOT pass rate across 240,652 analysed vehicles, with common issues relating to headlamps, suspension arms, and tyres.
