Hyundai I10 (2013)
2013 Hyundai I10
CarHunch analysed 21,961 real MOT records for the 2013 Hyundai I10. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2013 Hyundai i10's 79.9% first-time pass rate matches the UK average almost exactly, but there's a serious buyer concern: 36.8% of these cars have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, well above acceptable levels. This suggests latent reliability issues that may not show up immediately but accumulate over time.
At 36,086 miles median, these i10s have covered reasonable mileage for their age, yet owners are averaging 2.68 failures and 12.8 advisories per test, indicating persistent wear patterns and minor faults. Before buying one, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on electrical systems and brake components—the high dangerous-defect rate points to these as weak spots on the model.
What to check before buying a 2013 Hyundai I10
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.
- ⚠️ 36.8% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
