Our Verdict
A functional city car that remains viabl
When inspecting this vehicle, prioritize the documentation regarding the July 2026 MOT failure. Specifically, ask for evidence of how the 'Engine MIL' (Management Indicator Lamp) malfunction was resolved, as this can range from a simple sensor replacement to more complex engine issues. Ensure the repair was a permanent fix rather than a temporary reset of the dashboard light.
Check the service history for evidence of suspension work. Since the 2025 MOT recorded worn front lower suspension arm pins and bushes on both sides, you should check if these have since been replaced. If they remain worn, this provides a clear point for price negotiation as they are a known weak point for this model.
The 1248cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency in urban environments, typically falling into a low insurance group and a modest tax band. Maintenance costs for the i10 are generally low due to the simplicity of the mechanical layout and the availability of parts.
Annual running costs are estimated to be between £900 and £1,200. This figure covers fuel based on average city usage, annual road tax, insurance for a typical driver, and basic scheduled maintenance, though this may increase if the suspension components require immediate replacement.
Focus your inspection on the tyres and suspension. The MOT history shows a pattern of tyres 'cracking or perishing' (noted in 2024 and twice in 2026), suggesting the vehicle may spend long periods stationary or has used low-grade rubber; check the date codes on all four tyres.
Physically inspect the front lower suspension arms for excessive play or perished rubber bushes, as these were flagged as worn in July 2025. Finally, verify that the rear registration plate lamp is fully operational and that no warning lights reappear on the dashboard during a cold start.
This blue 2011 Hyundai i10 has recorded 76,116 miles, which is slightly above the model's average annual mileage. Its MOT history shows a generally consistent record, though the most recent test in July 2026 involved a failure for an inoperative engine management light and tyre issues before passing the following day. There are also recurring advisories regarding suspension wear and tyre perishing.
The Hyundai i10 has a respectable aggregate MOT pass rate of 80.7%, with suspension arms being one of the most frequent causes of failure across the model range.
