Our Verdict
This 2010 Hyundai I20 offers reasonable value for money but requires careful inspection of suspension and braking components due to repeated MOT issues. A lower price is justified given its age and defect history.
Prioritize a thorough mechanical inspection of the suspension system, focusing on the nearside and offside rear components highlighted in the 2025 MOT. Check for rust corrosion on brake pipes and coil springs, and verify if all defects were properly repaired. Request full service history to confirm maintenance of braking systems. Negotiate a discount to account for the 2025 MOT failures, particularly the brake disc wear and suspension play. Be cautious of potential hidden costs from recurring corrosion issues in UK's damp climate.
The 1.248cc petrol engine likely offers moderate fuel economy (around 40-50 mpg) but will face higher taxation due to its 2010 registration. Insurance group is unspecified but likely mid-range for a small hatchback. Maintenance costs may exceed average due to recurring corrosion issues - expect £300-£500 annually for brake repairs and suspension maintenance. Total estimated annual running costs: £1,200-£1,600.
Focus on the rear suspension assembly, checking for rust on coil springs and brake pipes as noted in multiple MOTs. Inspect brake discs for scoring and ensure the steering rack joints have no play. Examine the anti-roll bar linkage for wear and verify that all corrosion issues were addressed. Check for water ingress in the cabin and assess the condition of rubber bushings. A full brake system pressure test is recommended to confirm no hidden leaks.
The 2010 Hyundai I20 has a mixed MOT history with multiple suspension and braking defects recorded between 2022-2025. While the most recent MOT (2025-06-16) showed no defects, prior tests revealed corrosion, brake wear, and play in critical components. At 108,883 miles, the mileage is slightly above average for a 16-year-old vehicle, though the car has shown consistent usage patterns.
No aggregate reliability data available for HYUNDAI I20, but this vehicle's MOT history shows typical corrosion issues common in older UK cars due to wet climate exposure.
