Hyundai I10 (2019)
2019 Hyundai I10
CarHunch analysed 18,082 real MOT records for the 2019 Hyundai I10. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2019 Hyundai i10 is a genuinely reliable small car, with an 88.7% first-time pass rate that sits well above the UK average of 80%, and only 12.1% of vehicles ever flagged with a dangerous defect—a reassuringly low figure. This is a car that holds up well in its class, delivering solid dependability without the nagging worry of serious safety issues cropping up early.
At 23,575 miles on average, these i10s are running light for their age, which explains why failures are modest at 0.64 per vehicle. The typical advisory count of 3.0 suggests minor wear items (wipers, lights, trim) rather than structural problems, so budget for routine maintenance but not major repairs—run a pre-purchase inspection anyway to catch any neglected service history before you commit.
What to check before buying a 2019 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.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
