Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
When viewing this vehicle, you should negotiate based on the recent MOT advisories. The 2026 MOT specifically noted a corroded offside rear coil spring and a damaged/perishing tyre; check if these have been replaced since the test was passed.
Ask for evidence of recent work regarding the suspension. The 2025 MOT highlighted deteriorated ball joint dust covers on both the nearside and offside front suspension arms. Ensure that these components, along with the pitted rear brake discs mentioned in 2025, have been addressed by a professional to avoid immediate post-purchase costs.
As a 1.2L petrol engine, this i10 is generally positioned in a lower insurance group, making it relatively affordable for new drivers. Fuel economy for this model is typically efficient for city driving, though actual figures will depend on maintenance levels.
Maintenance costs for this era of Hyundai are usually moderate, but you should budget for suspension repairs and tyre replacements, given the recent MOT trends. Annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance, are estimated to be in the mid-range for a small hatchback.
Focus your inspection on the suspension and braking system. Specifically, look for signs of heavy corrosion on the rear coil springs, as this has been a recurring issue in the 2023, 2025, and 2026 MOT records.
Check the condition of all tyres, paying close attention to the offside rear for any cracking or perishing as noted in the most recent test. Additionally, inspect the front suspension ball joints and the condition of the rear brake discs to ensure the pitting and scoring noted in 2025 have been resolved.
This 2009 blue Hyundai i10 with the 1.2L petrol engine has covered 66,291 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 4,737 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of recurring corrosion on the rear coil springs and issues with tyre condition. While it has passed its tests, the frequency of advisories in 2025 and 2026 suggests a need for closer inspection of the underbody and suspension.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 80.7% MOT pass rate, with common failures often relating to headlamps, suspension arms, and washer systems.
