About the 2010 Perodua Myvi
The 2010 Perodua Myvi is a city car. Our records list this model year as electric, but most of the model's other years are petrol or diesel, so the fuel type and running costs here may be wrong. 657 MOT tests were recorded on this model in 2024, making it a less common model in the UK market. Among all models from 2010, the average MOT pass rate is 75%, and this model beats that benchmark.

Buying a Used 2010 Perodua Myvi
At 16 years old, the Perodua Myvi is firmly in budget territory. Purchase prices are low, but check for rust, worn suspension bushes, and electrical gremlins. A full service history is especially valuable at this age. If you're flexible on year, the 2011 model has the highest pass rate at 82%.
Common Issues to Watch For
These are typical issues for cars of this age, fuel type and engine size, not faults recorded on this model's MOT tests. Use them as a checklist when you view one.
Rust and Corrosion
Watch outAt 10+ years, check wheel arches, sills, subframe, and brake lines for rust. Structural corrosion is an MOT failure. Prevention is far cheaper than repair.
Suspension Bushings
Watch outRubber suspension bushes harden and crack with age, causing knocking noises and vague handling. A full refresh costs £300-£800 depending on the car.
Service History
Low riskAlways request a full service history. Regular servicing is the single best indicator of how well a car has been maintained, regardless of mileage.
