Our Verdict
A sensible choice for city driving, part
Given the low mileage, your primary focus should be on how the vehicle has been used; low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from age-related issues like perished rubber seals or battery degradation. Check the service history to see if the 1.2L engine has received regular oil changes, as infrequent servicing is a common risk for low-use vehicles.
When inspecting, specifically ask if the 'slight play in both front suspension top mounts' noted in the April 2024 MOT was professionally rectified. While the 2026 MOT passed with no defects, verifying that this mechanical work was carried out provides extra peace of mind. Additionally, check all exterior lighting, particularly the stop lamps, to ensure no recurrence of the 2024 failure.
The 1248cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency in urban environments, making it relatively inexpensive to run. As a small city car, it typically falls into a lower insurance group, which is beneficial for new or young drivers.
Maintenance costs for the i10 are generally predictable, though you should budget for standard wear-and-tear items like tyres and brakes. Based on the low annual mileage, your annual fuel spend should be modest, though the total annual running cost will depend heavily on your specific driving habits and insurance profile.
Pay close attention to the front suspension area. The MOT history shows a failure in April 2024 due to play in the front suspension top mounts. Even though the vehicle passed its 2026 MOT without defects, a physical inspection of the suspension components and any signs of knocking over bumps is advisable.
Check the electrical systems, specifically the stop lamps, as this was a recorded reason for failure in 2024. Finally, inspect the tyres and brakes; while the mileage is low, tyres can age and crack even if they have plenty of tread remaining.
This 2010 red Hyundai i10 has covered just 37,172 miles in 16 years, which is significantly lower than the model average of 4,737 miles per year. While it has experienced one MOT failure in 2024 related to stop lamps and suspension top mounts, the most recent tests in 2025 and 2026 show no recorded defects. It represents a low-mileage example of a small 1.2L petrol hatchback.
Aggregate data from over 240,000 vehicles shows an 80.7% MOT pass rate for this model, with common failures involving headlamps, suspension arms, and washer systems.
