The Hyundai i10 is the most compact car in the brand’s line-up and provides an entry point to the entire range. Its small proportions mean that it’s easy to park and live with, so you’ll see many i10 models being used around town and in urban environments.
Second-generation cars - made between 2014 and 2020 - strike the best compromise between cost and equipment and it’s this model that we’ll be focusing on here. Plus, the second-generation i10 is a common sight among the used car classifieds here at AA Cars, so you should be able to find one that meets your budget requirements.
When checking a used Hyundai i10, look for regular servicing and evidence of frequent oil changes. These small petrol engines usually last well, but they respond best to clean oil and timely maintenance. Because many i10s are used for town driving, check the clutch engages smoothly, listen for suspension knocks over bumps, and look for wear around the switches, door handles and driver’s seat.
