Three used Hyundai I10 models are currently available on Motoring Today, spanning registration years from 2016 to 2019. When considering a used car such as these I10s, understanding Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), commonly known as road tax, is an important part of ownership costs. The amount of VED payable in the UK depends primarily on the car's first-registration date and its CO2 emissions or fuel type. For cars first registered before April 2017, VED is calculated purely based on CO2 emissions, with different bands corresponding to varying annual costs. However, vehicles registered from April 2017 onwards follow a different system. These cars pay a first-year rate based on CO2 emissions, followed by a standard flat rate for subsequent years. An additional surcharge applies to cars with a list price exceeding £40,000 when new, for five years from their second VED payment. Fully electric cars have historically been exempt from VED, but this exemption is changing from April 2025. Since the Hyundai I10 models available were first registered between 2016 and 2019, they could fall under either the older CO2-based system or the newer flat-rate system. To find the precise VED amount for any specific Hyundai I10, it is essential to check the individual car's details, including its exact first-registration date and CO2 figures, which will be provided with the listing.

Frequently asked questions

How much is road tax on a Hyundai I10?
A Hyundai I10 registered on or after 1 April 2017 pays the flat standard rate of £200 a year for 2026/27. Cars registered between March 2001 and March 2017 pay a CO₂-based band instead. If the car cost over £40,000 new, add the £440/yr expensive-car supplement in years 2–6.
Do electric Hyundai I10s pay road tax?
Yes — since 1 April 2025 zero-emission cars pay VED. A new electric car pays £10 in its first year, then the £200 standard rate; electric cars registered before April 2025 also pay £200. Electric cars registered before March 2017 pay £20.
What is the expensive-car (£40,000) supplement?
Cars with a list price over £40,000 when new pay an extra £440 a year on top of the standard rate for five years, starting from the second licence (years 2–6). For zero-emission cars registered from 1 April 2025 the threshold is £50,000. It is based on the list price when new, not the price you pay used.
How is road tax calculated for the Hyundai I10?
For cars registered from April 2017, VED is a first-year "showroom" rate based on CO₂ emissions, then the flat £200 standard rate every year after. Older cars (2001–2017) stay on the CO₂ band system (bands A–M). You can check the exact rate for any specific car by its registration on the DVLA vehicle-tax service.
How does used-car road tax work in the UK?
