Hyundai i10 buying guide (Ireland, 2026)
What a used Hyundai i10 costs in Ireland, how it does at the NCT, what goes wrong and what it costs to fix. Based on 254 for sale right now.
Our take on the Hyundai i10
A 2023 Hyundai i10 typically advertises at €13,950 and a 2018 one at €9,000, so it loses roughly 8% of its value a year at that age, slower than most cars. It's sold here mainly as a petrol. At the NCT, the 2014–2021 cars do better than other cars the same year. The 1.0 petrol is the most common engine (90% of those with a known engine), and it usually lasts around 320k km.

| 1.0 Petrol | ~320k km | ~€180 | 120 |
| 1.2 Petrol | ~320k km | ~€200 | 8 |

"Usually lasts" is the mileage these engines commonly reach before major work; service history matters more than the number.
