Hyundai I10 Classic (2011)
2011 Hyundai I10 Classic
CarHunch analysed 335 real MOT records for the 2011 Hyundai I10 Classic. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2011 Hyundai i10 Classic has a first-time MOT pass rate of 77.6%, slightly below the UK average of 80%, suggesting marginally more wear-related issues than typical for its age—though the complete absence of dangerous defects is genuinely reassuring for safety-conscious buyers. With a median mileage of 51,000 miles for a 13-year-old car, this cohort has been used sensibly, and at 0.68 average failures per vehicle, most don't require major repairs to pass their test.
The zero advisories per vehicle is unusual and suggests either robust build quality in these components or that minor wear items aren't flagged as concerns by testers. Before buying, have the specific example inspected thoroughly—while the cohort data is broadly positive, get a pre-purchase check to confirm the individual car's condition, particularly around suspension and exhaust systems where the handful of failures likely cluster.
What to check before buying a 2011 Hyundai I10 Classic
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
