Looking at a I10?

Population figures cannot tell you whether one particular car is taxed, MOT-valid or safe to buy.

Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. If the car is still worth pursuing, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.

Wondering whether one particular I10 is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the I10 disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 282,821 in 2025 Q4 and stand at 282,613 in 2026 Q1, flat 0%. That is up 14% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 5,679 are declared SORN — 1 in 51 of the 288,292 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

I10 MOT pass rate

In 2024, 72.7% of 168,200 Hyundai I10 MOTs passed first time — above the 71.2% UK average. Pass rate moves with age: 83% of cars aged 3–5 years passed first time, against 57.9% aged 15–30 years.

  • Brake Performance — 4.5% of tests. The brakes underperformed on the rolling road. Expect brake work rather than an adjustment.
  • Wipers — 3.7% of tests. Worn wiper blades. Minutes to fix, and a fair hint that servicing was skipped.
  • Stop Lamp — 3.4% of tests. A brake light out. Usually a bulb.
  • Condition — 3.4% of tests. Corrosion, damage or wear on a tested component. Worth seeing in person, as the cost ranges from trivial to structural.
