2012 Hyundai IX20 1.4L Petrol · 1100 DD

The roadworthiness trend for this Hyundai ix20 is stable, culminating in a clear pass on the October 29, 2025 test at 78,984 miles. The recent record contains two failures, recorded on October 24, 2023, and October 15, 2025, which were swiftly rectified on the same day or within two weeks to secure subsequent passes. Because the specific defect descriptions are absent from the digital record for these failures, the exact nature of those initial rejections cannot be determined, but the immediate rectification indicates prompt attention to compliance issues. The vehicle is approximately fourteen years old with a recorded mileage of 78,984 miles, averaging roughly 5,642 miles per year. This low annual mileage reflects lighter than average use across its lifespan. The test cadence shows consistent annual examinations every October from 2023 through 2025, with no extended gaps in the testing history that would suggest prolonged periods of off-road storage or abandonment. A physical inspection must prioritize underlying mechanical assemblies that often degrade on lower-mileage vehicles of this age, such as rubber suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components prone to surface corrosion from infrequent heavy use. Because the MOT history lacks specific advisory notes regarding structural integrity or mechanical wear, the buyer should thoroughly check the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or binding calipers during a test drive. Evaluating the condition of the exhaust system and checking the subframes for corrosion will provide a complete picture of the vehicle's structural state beneath the bodywork.
