Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
Focus heavily on the chassis condition. The MOT history explicitly mentions corrosion on the rear sub-frame in January 2025 and general underside corrosion in January 2026. You should have a professional mechanic inspect the structural integrity to ensure these advisories are not progressing toward a critical failure.
Verify that the suspension arm ball joint and anti-roll bar linkage identified in the January 2025 failure were replaced with quality parts. Request any available invoices for these repairs to ensure the work was carried out by a qualified garage.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for urban efficiency, typically resulting in low fuel consumption and a low insurance group. Tax bands for this era of i10 are generally affordable, making it a cost-effective city car.
Maintenance costs are typically low for this model, though the recent MOT history suggests that wear-and-tear items, such as suspension components, are now appearing. Expect a moderate annual spend on servicing and consumables.
Prioritise an inspection of the underside and rear sub-frame, as these were flagged in both the 2025 and 2026 MOT tests. Use a torch or hoist to check for surface rust versus deeper structural corrosion that could lead to future failures.
Check the front suspension for any unusual knocks or play, specifically referencing the failed ball joint and anti-roll bar linkage from the 2025 record. Finally, double-check that all exterior lighting, including the position lamps, is fully operational.
This blue 2012 Hyundai i10 has recorded 69,889 miles, which is slightly above the model average. The MOT history shows a clean record until early 2025, when it failed on suspension components and lighting. Recent tests highlight ongoing issues with underside and sub-frame corrosion.
The i10 has a respectable aggregate MOT pass rate of 80.7%, with suspension arms being a commonly recorded failure point across the model range.
