2012 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · AO12 AEA

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-12 at 118,017 miles recorded a PASS, but the same date also shows a FAILED entry with identical mileage, creating an inconsistency that requires clarification. Previous tests from 2025-03-14 (111,112 miles) and 2024-03-07 (104,574 miles) were both PASSED with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The absence of recorded faults in these tests suggests the vehicle has met legal standards, though the duplicate 2026-03-12 results raise questions about administrative accuracy. The mileage of 118,017 miles over 14 years equates to approximately 8,430 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for this age. The 2024-2025 period shows a 6,542-mile increase, consistent with average annual driving. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident, though the 2025-03-10 and 2025-03-14 tests at 111,020 and 111,112 miles, respectively, suggest a short timeframe for retesting, potentially reflecting minor issues requiring follow-up. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as frequent MOTs may indicate gradual wear. Brake components, including discs and calipers, warrant scrutiny due to the vehicle’s age, even without recorded defects. Corrosion in underbody areas and exhaust emissions compliance should also be checked, as these are common concerns for 14-year-old vehicles. The MOT history lacks specific mechanical failures, but the testing frequency implies proactive maintenance, which may offset some risks.
