Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution before purc
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the vehicle's underside. The MOT history shows a progression of corrosion issues, most recently involving the front subframe and multiple suspension components in December 2025. You should check if the work required to pass the 2024 and 2025 tests was comprehensive or merely a temporary fix for the reported corrosion.
Negotiate the price based on the potential upcoming maintenance costs associated with the underside. Ask for evidence of any recent welding or replacement of suspension parts, as the 2025 record notes corrosion on the front subframe and both sides of the rear coil springs and shock absorbers. A professional pre-purchase inspection by a mechanic familiar with chassis corrosion is strongly recommended.
The 1.2L petrol engine is generally economical for city driving, typically falling into a moderate insurance group and tax band suitable for a small hatchback. Maintenance costs for this model are often predictable, but the recent MOT history suggests higher-than-average expenditure may be required for suspension and braking components.
Expect typical running costs for a small petrol car, but budget specifically for potential structural repairs or replacement of worn suspension elements. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, is estimated at £1,100-£1,400 given the documented mechanical advisories.
Focus heavily on the chassis and suspension. The 2025 MOT recorded corrosion on the front subframe and both nearside and offside suspension arms, as well as the rear coil springs and shock absorber casings. You must verify the extent of this corrosion to ensure it does not pose a structural safety risk.
Additionally, inspect the braking system. The history shows repeated issues with brake discs being worn, pitted, or scored (noted in 2023 and 2024), and instances of binding brakes in late 2024. Check the condition of the tyres as well, following the structural failure noted in the 2023 test.
This 2010 grey Hyundai i10 has covered 51,834 miles, which is notably lower than the model average of 4,737 miles per year. However, the MOT records show a consistent trend of corrosion affecting the subframe, suspension arms, coil springs, and shock absorbers. Recent tests indicate that while it has passed, there are multiple ongoing advisories regarding structural and component degradation.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 80.7% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including headlamps, suspension arms, and washer systems.
