2010 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · CA10 ABX

This vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 5 June 2026 at 28,193 miles. The maintenance trend is generally stable, though the latest test introduces a new concern regarding corrosion under the vehicle. This follows a pattern of clean passes, interrupted only by minor advisory notes in previous years. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2010 model, averaging roughly 1,762 miles per year. The record shows very little usage over the last decade, with only 8,493 miles added between April 2013 and June 2026. Such low activity often suggests the car has spent long periods stationary, which typically accelerates the degradation of rubber components and promotes surface oxidation. The MOT history confirms this pattern of low-use degradation. In June 2022 at 24,671 miles, the tester flagged all tyres as slightly damaged, cracking, or perishing. This is a classic symptom of age-related rubber decay rather than tread wear. By June 2025 at 26,749 miles, both nearside and offside rear brake discs were noted as worn, pitted, or scored. Pitting on brake discs is frequently caused by moisture and inactivity rather than heavy braking. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the chassis and underbody. The June 2026 advisory for under-vehicle corrosion is the most significant red flag in the history and requires a professional assessment to determine if it is superficial surface rust or structural decay. Given the history of perishing tyres and pitted discs, all rubber bushings, belts, and fluid conditions should be checked for deterioration caused by prolonged standing.
