Second Hand Hyundai i10 Rear Tailgate

The i10 has run in two clear generations in the UK: the first generation (2008–2013) and the second generation (2014–2019), with the third generation arriving from 2020 onwards. Tailgates are generation-specific, so a first-gen tailgate will not swap onto a second or third-gen car. Always confirm the exact generation with the breaker against your registration before buying.

No — these sit in different generations, the 2012 in the first-gen (2008–2013) and the 2015 in the second-gen (2014–2019), and the body shell changed completely between them. You need a tailgate sourced from the matching generation. Confirm the year range with the breaker against your registration to make sure you get the right one.

The second-generation i10 received a facelift during its run, and whether the tailgate pressing changed across that update is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assume. Even within a generation, mid-cycle updates can alter panel contours or apertures in ways that affect fit. A good breaker will be able to check your exact reg and advise.

Trim level does not affect tailgate fitment on the i10 — the shell is the same across S, SE, Premium, and N Line variants within the same generation. What can differ is what's attached to the tailgate: spoilers, badging, or whether a rear wiper or high-level brake light is integrated, so check the donor part matches your setup cosmetically. Mechanically and structurally, the trim name alone is not a barrier to fitment.

No — engine choice has no effect on which tailgate you need, as the rear body is identical regardless of whether the car has a smaller or larger petrol engine. Focus on generation and model year rather than what is under the bonnet. This is one of the easier parts to cross-reference as long as the generation is correct.

The Hyundai i10 has been sold in the UK as a hatchback, and you should confirm with the breaker exactly which body configuration your car has against your registration, as body style directly determines tailgate fitment. If your car is a standard hatchback i10, sourcing from another hatchback i10 of the same generation is the starting point. Never assume a tailgate from a different body style will interchange, even if the years look close.
