How many Hyundai i10s are left in Great Britain?
There were 274,746 Hyundai i10s licensed in Great Britain at the end of March 2026, and a further 5,271 declared off the road (SORN).
That is 0.1% fewer than the peak of 274,905 in 2025.
In 2025, 72.5% of Hyundai i10 MOT tests were passed first time,
against 72.8% for all cars.
Cars of the same ages as the Hyundai i10s tested pass 71.9% of the time, so the Hyundai i10 does about as well as average for its age. In 2024 its pass rate was 72.6%.

more than one category, so shares add up to more than 100%.
7.0% of Hyundai i10 tests found at least one dangerous defect, against 7.3% for all cars.

15 years of the Hyundai i10, by year of first registration, have their own page with MOT results, common faults, mileage and how many are left. Against all cars of the same age, the 2016 cars did best at their 2025 MOT (79.6% passed first time) and the 2022 cars worst (83.8%).
Registered: cars on the DVLA record at the end of the year they were first registered (these counts start in 2014, so older years show a dash). Left:
licensed or declared SORN at the end of 2025.
Both cover the United Kingdom. Pass rate: first-time passes at normal MOT tests in Great
Britain in 2025; all cars: every car first registered the same year.

How we use engine sizes.
Hyundai i10 fuel economy and CO2
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Hyundai i10 from 2008, and still lists it. On the WLTP test (listings 2019 to 2026), official combined fuel economy for its petrol versions ranges from 40.9 to 56.5 mpg, with CO2 of 114 to 157 g/km. On the older NEDC test (listings 2008 to 2018), official combined fuel economy for its petrol versions ranges from 45.6 to 70.6 mpg, with CO2 of 93 to 142 g/km.

Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in
real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
NEDC figures (in VCA’s data until September 2018) and WLTP figures (from the 2019 guide)
come from different tests, so they are shown separately and should not be compared.
Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in
VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was
listed.
Matched from VCA’s model names “i10”, “i10 MY24”, “i10 MY25”, “i10, 2014”. How we use VCA’s figures.
Hyundai i10 safety recalls
DVSA lists 4 safety recalls for the Hyundai i10 since 1992, the first in 2022. The most recent was launched on 6 April 2026.
The vehicle fuel pump may have an internal malfunction which may fail over time.
Launched 6 April 2026DVSA recall R/2026/093Manufacturer ref. 61DT01
Defect
The vehicle fuel pump may have an internal malfunction which may fail over time. The malfunction indicator light MIL on the vehicle instrument cluster may illuminate when this symptom occurs and if ignored and the vehicle continues to be driven the vehicle may lose motive power.
Remedy
The affected vehicles will have the fuel pump replaced as a permanent solution
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Hyundai i10. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or
incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a
dealer. How we match recalls to models.
Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
MOT figures cover normal tests of cars aged three and over in 2025; retests are excluded. Age is rounded to the nearest year.
DVSA records the model name typed in at the test. We match those names to DVLA’s generic models, so a handful of tests may be counted under a close relative.
