Our Verdict
This Hyundai i10 is a sensible choice for city driving, provided you verify its service history. The recent MOT history shows a clean record with no defects recorded in the last three tests.
When inspecting this 1.2L petrol variant, focus on the service history to ensure the engine has been maintained despite the higher-than-average mileage. Because this model is often used for urban commuting, check for signs of heavy clutch wear or gearbox roughness.
Negotiate based on the mileage; at over 73,000 miles, it has been driven much more frequently than the typical example in our database. Ensure you check the tyres and brake pads, as these are common wear items on small city cars.
The 1248cc petrol engine is designed for economy, typically offering low fuel consumption suitable for urban environments. Tax and insurance groups for the i10 are generally positioned in the lower brackets, making it an affordable option for new drivers or budget-conscious commuters.
Expect maintenance costs to be relatively low, though you should budget for routine items like brakes and suspension components. Based on typical usage, the estimated annual running cost is moderate.
Although the recent MOT history for this specific vehicle shows no defects, you should be aware of common failure points for the Hyundai i10 model. Our aggregate data suggests that headlamps, suspension arms, and brake discs are frequent reasons for MOT failures across this model range.
Specifically, inspect the front suspension for any knocks or undue play and check the clarity of the headlamp lenses. Given the mileage, also examine the brake discs for excessive wear or scoring, as these are noted as common issues in the wider model data.
This 2013 blue Hyundai i10 (VU13KPT) has covered 73,743 miles as of its last test in September 2025. While the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 4,727 miles per year, the vehicle has maintained a consistent pass record. The most recent MOT in September 2025 passed with no defects recorded, following a series of clean tests throughout 2024.
The Hyundai i10 shows an average MOT pass rate of 80.7% across the 240,671 vehicles analysed in our database.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2013 model year cars.
- Premature clutch wearModerate
Small clutches and heavy town use mean many i10s need a clutch earlier than buyers expect, especially ex-driving-school or multi-owner cars.
- Rear brake binding and handbrake-cable seizureModerate
Rear drums or calipers can stick if the car is used mostly for short trips, causing drag, hot wheels and MOT brake-imbalance failures.
