Buying Tips for the 2018 Hyundai i20 (GB)
- ✓A tidy GB should feel refined rather than flimsy, so knocks from the steering or front suspension are worth pricing properly
- ✓The 1.2 petrol is the safest ownership bet; diesel cars only make sense if they have covered enough A-road or motorway miles
- ✓Check air conditioning and radiator area carefully because the nose is exposed to stone damage
- ✓Use the MOT record to spot repeat advisories for front bushes, brake imbalance or weak headlamp output
