2015 Hyundai I10 SE

CarHunch analysed 387 real MOT records for the 2015 Hyundai I10 SE. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2015 Hyundai i10 SE falls short of the UK average with a 74.4% first-time pass rate versus the 80% benchmark, suggesting these cars need a bit more attention to stay roadworthy. The good news is that dangerous defects are rare, affecting just 0.5% of the fleet, so safety isn't a red flag here.

At nearly 44,000 miles on average, these i10s are showing typical wear for their age, and the low failure rate of 0.24 per vehicle indicates they're fundamentally sound when maintained. Before buying, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on routine maintenance items like brakes and fluids, as the modest pass rate suggests some owners skip their preventative care.

What to check before buying a 2015 Hyundai I10 SE

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.
