Buying Tips for the 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
