Used Hyundai i10 Brake Servo

Most Hyundai i10s are fitted with a conventional vacuum brake servo, which sits between the brake pedal and the master cylinder to provide power assistance. However, some later i10 variants — particularly those with smaller turbocharged engines on the third generation — may use an electric vacuum pump or alternative brake boost system rather than a traditional servo, so the exact setup can vary. If you are unsure which system your car has, check with a breaker against your registration before ordering.

The first-generation Hyundai i10 ran from 2007 to 2013, and the second generation launched in 2013, so a 2012 car is first-gen and a 2014 car is second-gen — these are entirely different platforms and the brake servo will not interchange between them. Stick to parts from the same generation as your car to have any realistic chance of fitment. Always confirm the part number with the breaker against both registrations before buying.

The second-generation i10 received a facelift around 2016, but running gear including the braking system typically carries over within a generation rather than changing at a cosmetic refresh. That said, whether the servo is genuinely interchangeable across the pre- and post-facelift second-gen cars is something you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration, as mid-generation brake upgrades are a known possibility on some models. Engine size can also be a factor — a servo from a 1.0-litre car may differ from one fitted to a 1.25-litre car, so supply that detail when asking for a quote.

Engine size can influence brake system specification because larger or more powerful engines are sometimes paired with uprated braking components including a larger or differently rated servo. On the i10, which was offered with 1.0-litre and 1.25-litre petrol engines across the second generation, it is worth telling your breaker which engine size your car has rather than just the model name. This gives the breaker the best chance of matching the correct servo to your car.

Trim level alone — whether your i10 is a Classic, Play, SE, or Premium — does not affect brake servo fitment, as trim differences on the i10 relate to interior and cosmetic features rather than the braking system. The factors that actually matter are the generation your car belongs to and the engine size fitted. Give your breaker your registration and engine size and they can identify the correct part regardless of what trim badge is on your car.

When contacting a breaker, give them your full registration number so they can verify the exact generation and engine variant, and ask them to cross-reference the part number on the servo against yours if possible. It is also worth asking whether the servo has been bench-tested or is supplied as removed, since a faulty used servo can affect braking performance. A reputable breaker should be happy to answer these questions before you commit to a purchase.
