Used Hyundai Frequently Asked Questions
Is a used Hyundai a reliable car?
Absolutely. Reliability is where Hyundai truly shines, regularly outperforming premium brands in dependability studies. A second hand Hyundai with a full service history is one of the most dependable cars you can buy.
Are used Hyundai cars expensive to maintain?
Not at all. This is a key advantage of owning a used Hyundai. Parts are affordable and widely available, and their robust engineering means they spend less time in the garage, keeping maintenance costs down.
How long do Hyundai engines last?
With proper care, Hyundai engines are built to last. It's not uncommon to see them running smoothly well past 150,000 miles, making them a great choice for long-term ownership.
Tucson vs Santa Fe: What's the real difference?
Both are excellent SUVs, but they are for different needs. The used Hyundai Tucson is a stylish, medium-sized 5-seater family SUV that is perfect for most families. The used Hyundai Santa Fe is a larger and more luxurious vehicle that comes with the option of seven seats, making it the better choice for bigger families or those needing extra space.
What is the best used Hyundai to buy for value?
For maximum value, the used Hyundai i10 (city car) and i20 (supermini) are hard to beat. They offer incredibly low running costs, cheap insurance, and fantastic reliability, making them a very smart purchase.
Which Hyundai model holds its value best?
The SUVs, like the used Hyundai Tucson and Kona, tend to hold their value very well because they are so in-demand. Their blend of practicality, style, and reliability makes them a sought-after second-hand choice.
i10 vs i20: Which is the better choice for a first car?
Both are brilliant choices. The Hyundai i10 is a compact city car that is incredibly easy to park and falls into the lowest insurance groups. The Hyundai i20 is a slightly larger supermini that feels more stable and comfortable on motorway journeys. For pure city driving, the i10 is hard to beat, but the i20 is the better all-rounder.
What should I check before buying a second hand Hyundai?
Always look for a full service history showing regular maintenance. Check the free online MOT history for any past issues and ensure any warranty recall work has been completed.
Does the 5-Year Unlimited Mileage Warranty transfer to a second owner?
Yes, it does. This is one of Hyundai's biggest selling points. As long as the car's service schedule has been correctly followed, the remainder of the original 5-year, unlimited mileage warranty is fully transferable to the next owner. This offers a level of protection that is almost unmatched on the used car market.
