Our Verdict
A sensible choice for city driving, provided the recent MOT failure is clarified. The vehicle shows a consistent passing record with no major defects noted in the last four years.
When viewing this specific i10, your first priority should be to confirm what caused the MOT failure on 28 August 2025 at 92,958 miles. Although the subsequent test passed with no defects, knowing the nature of that failure (e.g., whether it was a minor bulb issue or a more significant component) is essential for your peace of mind.
Beyond the MOT, check the service history for oil changes, as the 1.2L engine requires regular maintenance to remain efficient. Given the age of the vehicle, inspect the rubber components and suspension for signs of wear, and ensure the silver paintwork is free from significant corrosion, which can sometimes affect older city cars.
The 1248cc petrol engine is designed for economy, making it suitable for low-to-medium annual mileage. You can expect relatively low fuel consumption, particularly in urban environments, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Insurance groups for the i10 are typically low, making it an affordable option for newer drivers. Maintenance costs for this model are generally predictable, though you should budget for consumables like tyres and brakes. Total annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and basic maintenance, are estimated to be in the moderate range for a petrol hatchback of this age.
Based on aggregate data for this model, you should pay close attention to the headlamps, tyres, and suspension arms, as these are the most common failure points across the Hyundai i10 fleet. Even if this specific vehicle passed its recent tests, these components are worth a close visual inspection.
Check the tyre tread depth and ensure there is no uneven wear, which could indicate suspension issues. Test the headlamp alignment and brightness. Additionally, because this vehicle has covered nearly 93,000 miles, inspect the brake pads and discs for thickness and any signs of excessive scoring.
This 2009 silver Hyundai i10 features a 1.2L petrol engine and has covered 92,959 miles as of its most recent test. The MOT history shows a steady pattern of passes between 2022 and 2024, though it did encounter a failure immediately prior to its most recent pass in August 2025. While the mileage is higher than the model average, the lack of recorded defects in recent years is a notable aspect of its history.
The Hyundai i10 shows an average MOT pass rate of 81.8% across the dataset, with common issues typically relating to lighting, tyres, and suspension.
