Our Verdict
A sensible choice for a city car with be
Concentrate your inspection on the rear braking system. The MOT history shows a progression from pitted and scored rear discs in 2024 to imbalanced brakes and parking brake issues in 2025; ensure these have been properly repaired and not just minimally adjusted to pass the test.
Check the current tread depth of the tyres, specifically the nearside rear, which was noted as being close to the legal limit (2mm) in late 2025. As you cannot determine maintenance quality from MOT records alone, request the full service history to see if the low mileage has been accompanied by regular oil and filter changes.
The 998cc petrol engine is designed for urban efficiency, ensuring low fuel consumption and a budget-friendly road tax band. Insurance groups for the i10 are typically low, making it an economical choice for new or young drivers.
Typical maintenance costs for this model are modest, though the recent MOT history indicates that rear brake components may require attention. Annual costs will primarily consist of fuel, insurance, and a standard annual service.
Carefully inspect the rear brakes. Given the 2024 advisory for pitted discs and the 2025 failure for imbalanced brakes and parking brake issues, check that the handbrake holds firmly on a slope and the footbrake feels consistent.
Verify the headlamp aim and check for any signs of moisture in the lenses, as headlamps are a common failure point for this model. Finally, listen for any knocks from the suspension during a test drive, as suspension arms are listed as a top failure reason in aggregate data for the i10.
This white 2016 Hyundai i10 has recorded 41,418 miles, which is below the model's average annual mileage. The MOT history is predominantly clean, although the September 2025 test resulted in a failure due to headlamp aim, tyre wear, and rear braking issues. It is a typical example of the 998cc petrol variant with a generally consistent testing record.
The Hyundai i10 demonstrates a solid reliability reputation with an average MOT pass rate of 80.7% across 240,765 analysed vehicles.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2016 model year cars.
- Premature Clutch Wear & JudderModerate
The most common mechanical complaint. Many cars require a new clutch before 50k miles, especially if used primarily for city driving.
- Rear Brake BindingModerate
Rear brake pads can stick to the discs/calipers, particularly on cars left standing or used for very short trips.
- Immobiliser Signal FailureModerate
The antenna coil in the steering column can fail, meaning the car doesn't recognize the key and fails to start.
