Thoughts on 2010 Hyundai i10

Topic starter

Hi from London.

I know scotty is not a big fan of Hyundai 😜. I just need A small car, cheap tax etc to teach a mate to drive from scratch then sell on...

I found a Hyundai i10 used car to buy, looks like a good example of one! 

 its passed all its mot/inspections

With only one advisor, no Mot fails! At all 🥲

#100k on clock 

#£900 asking price

#2010

Just need it for driving lessons then will sell on...

Any information much appreciated 🙏🏽

First generation Picanto / i10 cars were rough.

 

Although the 1.1L is still an engine to avoid, as it seems, their worst issues were solved for the 2010 model year.

On a small Hyundai, you want a Kappa MPi engine.

 

Look at the comments under my answer for an owner's testimony (under the show more comments):

If you're interested in a miserable tiny city car, get the next gen is as good as they got.

This gen:


Thanks, seller said car needs work and he won't entertain bringing a Macnic down.... even though the Hyundai passed all its MOT/INSPECTIONS still the seller could hide something unless I don't check properly 🤓


Just another reason to avoid it.
What do MOT inspections have to do with it? It doesn't have anything to do with reliability!


Ok thanks 😊 I ran and got a free lesson the easy way from you guys. Need ti listen to Scotty more

Run away from any deal where the seller won't let the car be examined by a mechanic.


Or even a Macnic..


Thanks
