Used Hyundai i10 DPF

The Hyundai i10 has run across two main UK generations: the first generation (IA) ran from 2008 to 2013, and the second generation (BA) ran from 2014 onwards, with a facelift arriving around 2016. DPFs are associated with diesel engines meeting Euro 5 and Euro 6 standards, but the i10 has been sold predominantly with petrol engines in the UK, so genuine DPF fitment on this model is uncommon — confirm with your breaker whether your specific registered vehicle actually carries a DPF before sourcing one.

The 2015 and 2017 i10 both fall within the second-generation (BA) range, but the facelift occurred around 2016, which can mean changes to engine management and exhaust configuration that affect DPF compatibility. Because DPF interchange specifics are strong confirm-with-breaker territory, you should give the breaker both your registration and the donor vehicle's registration so they can check engine codes and emissions calibration match before committing.

The first-generation (IA) and second-generation (BA) i10 are built on different platforms with different exhaust architectures, so a DPF from a pre-2014 car crossing into a post-2014 car spans a clear generation boundary. Whether a specific unit will physically fit or pass MOT emissions testing on the later car is something you must confirm with the breaker against both registrations, as fitting the wrong emissions-era part could cause an MOT failure.

Trim level — whether S, SE, Premium, or Premium SE — does not affect DPF fitment; what matters is the engine code, fuel type, and emissions standard (Euro 5 or Euro 6) the car was built to. A DPF pulled from a lower-spec i10 with the same engine code and emissions era as your Premium will be the same unit, though expect minor cosmetic differences in heat shielding or bracket finish that have no bearing on function. Confirm the engine code match with the breaker against your registration to be sure.

The key factors are that the replacement DPF matches your car's engine code and emissions era — fitting a Euro 5 unit to a Euro 6 car, or vice versa, risks an MOT emissions failure even if it bolts on. A breaker can cross-reference the donor vehicle's registration against yours to verify the engine code and homologation period align before you buy. Because DPF interchange specifics vary and an incorrect part can cause an MOT failure, always confirm compatibility with the breaker rather than relying on visual similarity alone.
