Our Verdict
Recommended as a practical, low-mileage
When inspecting this i10, focus on the evidence of repairs following the January 2026 MOT failure. Ensure the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage and the faulty lighting (stop and position lamps) have been properly rectified. Given the 1.2L petrol engine's simplicity, it is a reliable choice for urban driving, but you should request a detailed service history to supplement the MOT data.
Negotiate based on the recurring corrosion issues. The MOT records from 2023 and 2025 both highlight corroded rear coil springs; check if these were replaced or if they remain an active concern. If the springs are still corroded, this should be factored into the purchase price as a pending maintenance requirement.
The 1248cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, offering low fuel consumption for city commutes. As a 2013 model, it falls into a manageable tax bracket and a low insurance group, making it an affordable option for new drivers or those seeking a secondary vehicle.
Typical maintenance for the i10 is generally low, though this specific vehicle has shown a trend of suspension wear. Annual running costs, including fuel, road tax, insurance, and basic servicing, are estimated to be modest.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the rear suspension. The MOT history specifically notes corroded rear coil springs in both 2023 and 2025, as well as a corroded nearside rear shock absorber casing in 2023. Use a torch to check for significant rust or flaking on these components.
Additionally, verify the current state of the front suspension following the January 2026 failure of the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint. Check all exterior lighting, specifically the central rear stop lamps and the nearside front position lamp, to ensure the recent MOT failures were fully resolved.
This silver 2013 Hyundai i10 has covered 65,410 miles, which is slightly above the model's average annual mileage of 4,737. The MOT history shows a consistent testing pattern, though the most recent January 2026 test required a re-test to address suspension and lighting faults. Recurring advisories regarding corroded rear coil springs suggest a need for careful underbody inspection.
The Hyundai i10 has a respectable aggregate MOT pass rate of 80.7%, with common failures typically linked to headlamps and suspension arms.
