HYUNDAI I20 CLASSIC2009 · 1.2L Petrol

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-04-07 at 109,418 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, the prior test on 2025-03-26 at 109,413 miles resulted in a failure despite no defects being noted, suggesting an anomaly or potential oversight in the testing process. Subsequent tests from 2022 to 2024 consistently passed with no defects, implying the car has generally met roadworthiness standards. The lack of recurring issues in the MOT history does not indicate a worsening trend, but the gap between the latest test and today’s date (2026-07-16) raises concerns about compliance and current condition. The vehicle’s mileage of 109,418 miles over 17 years equates to an average of 6,436 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for its age. However, the period between 2024-04-02 (107,402 miles) and 2025-04-07 (109,418 miles) saw only 2,016 miles added, a significant reduction compared to earlier years. This could indicate reduced usage, storage, or potential odometer discrepancies. The absence of defects in all but one test suggests the owner prioritized basic upkeep, though the failed 2025-03-26 test without recorded issues warrants scrutiny. A buyer should inspect the suspension, brakes, and exhaust system, as these components often degrade with age and mileage. The low mileage accumulation in 2025-2026 may have led to dry joints or corrosion in static areas. While no structural rust or major faults were recorded, the vehicle’s MOT history lacks detail on advisories or minor issues, which could mask underlying wear. A physical inspection is essential to confirm the condition of brake discs, suspension bushes, and exhaust emissions, particularly given the recent MOT gap and the unexplained failure.
