Our Verdict
Exercise caution with this vehicle. Whil
The primary concern with this vehicle is the evidence of corrosion. The offside front brake pipe was noted as corroded in both 2025 and 2026, suggesting a failure to rectify the issue despite the MOT pass. You should negotiate the price to account for the immediate replacement of all four tyres and the necessary brake pipe repairs.
Check the service history for evidence of underbody rustproofing or suspension work. Given the age of the vehicle and the specific failures recorded, ensure that the 1.2L petrol engine has had regular oil changes to maintain its longevity.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for efficiency, typically offering low fuel costs for urban commuting. Insurance groups for the i10 are generally low, and the road tax band for this year and engine size is typically affordable.
However, maintenance costs for this specific car may be higher than average in the short term due to the recorded corrosion. Expect to spend on tyres and brake system repairs immediately. The estimated annual running cost is approximately £900-£1,200.
Prioritise an inspection of the underbody. Specifically, check the offside front brake pipe and the front sub-frame mounting points, as these have been flagged in previous MOT tests. Examine the rear suspension trailing arm and coil springs for signs of advanced rust.
Carefully inspect the sidewalls of all four tyres for the cracking and perishing noted in the June 2026 MOT. Ensure the rear stop lamps are functioning correctly, following a failure recorded in 2024.
This grey 2010 Hyundai i10 has recorded 84,033 miles, which is slightly above the model average. The MOT history reveals recurring issues with corrosion affecting the brake pipes, sub-frame, and suspension components. The most recent test in June 2026 specifically flags that all four tyres are damaged, cracking, or perishing.
The i10 has a respectable aggregate MOT pass rate of 80.8%, though suspension arm issues are a known common failure point across the model range.
