Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and thorough inspec
When viewing this vehicle, prioritise a thorough check of the braking system and tyres. The 2024 MOT noted worn and pitted front brake discs, so ensure these have been replaced or are in good condition. Given the 2023 report of corroded brake pipes, you should inspect the underside of the car for any signs of further corrosion or recent repairs to the braking lines.
Ask the seller for evidence of the repairs made following the February 2024 failure, specifically regarding the nearside front drive shaft CV boot and the stop lamp. Because this vehicle has been driven much more than the average i10 of this age, verify that the service intervals have been strictly adhered to, as high mileage can accelerate wear on suspension and drivetrain components.
The 1248cc petrol engine is generally economical for city driving, making it a typical choice for low-cost motoring. You should expect moderate fuel economy consistent with a small-displacement petrol engine. Tax and insurance groups for the 2013 i10 are typically low, making it affordable for newer drivers.
Maintenance costs for this model tend to be predictable, though the MOT history suggests you should budget regularly for consumables like tyres, wipers, and brake components. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is approximately £1,100-£1,400.
Specifically inspect the tyres for uneven wear or cracking, as the vehicle has a history of MOT failures and advisories related to tyre condition (2023 and 2024). Check the condition of the windscreen wipers and the effectiveness of the washer system, following the failure noted in February 2024.
Under the car, look closely at the drive shafts and CV boots to ensure the nearside front joint is secure and free from splits. Additionally, check the brake pipes for any signs of corrosion or grease covering, as this was a recorded issue in the 2023 MOT test.
This 2013 red Hyundai i10 with the 1.2L petrol engine has covered 70,587 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 4,737 miles per year. The MOT history reveals recurring issues with tyres, brake components, and a split CV boot in early 2024. Although the December 2025 MOT passed without defects, the previous years show frequent advisories and failures related to maintenance items.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 80.7% MOT pass rate, with common failures often relating to headlamps, suspension arms, and windscreen washers.
