Our Verdict
Recommended as a practical urban vehicle
When reviewing this vehicle, request documentation for the repairs performed in July 2023. Specifically, confirm that the transmission oil leak and the corrosion on both nearside and offside rear brake pipes were permanently resolved rather than temporarily patched.
Check the service history for regular oil and filter changes to ensure the longevity of the 1248cc engine. Given the age of the vehicle, ensure that the timing belt or chain intervals have been adhered to according to the manufacturer's schedule.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for city efficiency, typically resulting in low fuel consumption for short trips. This model usually falls into a low insurance group and a modest road tax bracket, making it an affordable option for new drivers or city commuters.
Maintenance costs for the i10 are generally low, though older examples may require more frequent attention to consumables. Estimated annual costs include fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Carefully inspect the area around the transmission and the rear brake lines for any signs of recurring leaks or fresh corrosion, as these were primary failure points in 2023. Verify that the central stop lamp is functioning correctly, as this was previously recorded as a defect.
While not present in this vehicle's specific history, check the suspension arms and headlamps, as these are among the most common failure points for the i10 across the wider model population. A visual check of the tyre tread and brake pad wear is also advised given the mileage.
This blue 2012 Hyundai i10 has recorded 79,719 miles as of July 2026. While the vehicle failed its MOT in July 2023 due to brake pipe corrosion and a transmission leak, it has since passed three consecutive tests (2024, 2025, and 2026) with no defects recorded. It serves as a typical example of the 1.2L petrol variant.
The Hyundai i10 demonstrates a solid reliability reputation with an average MOT pass rate of 80.7% across more than 240,000 analysed vehicles.
