Buying Tips for the Hyundai i20 (PB)

  • A crisp manual shift and light clutch matter because many PB cars spent their life in town and feel tired long before the odometer looks scary
  • Listen for steering-column knocks on parking manoeuvres, especially on facelift cars where EPS issues show up more often
  • Diesel examples need evidence of regular longer trips rather than just annual servicing
  • Check MOT history for repeated advisories on front springs, lower arms and rear brake imbalance
