Every Hyundai I10 model year

Pass rates fall as cars age, so the only fair comparison for a 2019 car is other cars of the same age. The full run for the Hyundai I10:

What this means if you are buying a 2019 I10

The 2019 is one of the stronger years for this model, passing 9.6 points more often than the Hyundai I10 average. That is a point in its favour, though condition and service history still matter more than the model year.

What a 7-year-old car fails on

A 2019 car is 7 years old now, and age drives the failure mix more than the badge does. Across all cars tested, these are the categories that actually cause failures:

  • Lights and electrical: 10.36% of all cars tested
  • Suspension: 8.65% of all cars tested
  • Tyres: 6.23% of all cars tested
  • Brakes: 6.1% of all cars tested
  • Visibility: wipers, washers, glass: 4.65% of all cars tested
  • Body, chassis and structure: 3.18% of all cars tested

That is low mileage, which usually means light urban use. Short journeys are harder on batteries, brakes and exhausts than motorway miles, so do not assume low miles means low wear. On a 2019 Hyundai I10 the average at test was 26,755 miles, so treat anything far above that as a car that has worked harder than its peers, and anything far below as one worth checking for the faults that come from standing still.

The strongest year for this model is 2020 at 91.9%, and the weakest in our data is 2008 at 62.5%. That 29.4 point spread across the model's life is why comparing a 2019 car against a newer one tells you very little.
