HYUNDAI I202017 · 1.2L PETROL

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-11-28 at 57,537 miles recorded a pass with a minor windscreen damage advisory. This follows a 2024-11-21 test at 53,796 miles with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend in the past 12 months. However, prior records reveal recurring tyre-related issues, including a 2023-11-15 failure due to rear tyre bulges and front tyres near legal limits, later resolved in a subsequent pass. While the latest test shows no critical faults, the history suggests inconsistent attention to tyre condition and windscreen integrity, which could signal neglect or improper maintenance practices. Mileage progression from 45,589 miles in 2022 to 57,537 miles in 2025 aligns with an average annual usage of 6,393 miles, consistent with the vehicle’s age. The 2023-11-15 tests—both a failure and a pass on the same day—highlight abrupt tyre-related issues, possibly linked to structural degradation or uneven wear. No significant gaps in testing are evident, but the 2022-11-23 record noted rear tyre perishing, which may correlate with the 2023 bulge failure. The absence of major mechanical or suspension defects in recent tests suggests no immediate safety risks, though historical tyre problems warrant closer scrutiny. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the rear tyres for structural integrity, as the 2023 bulge failure indicates potential internal damage. Suspension components, particularly rear bushes and coil springs, should be checked for wear, given the recurring tyre issues. The windscreen damage advisories from 2022 and 2025 suggest possible exposure to debris or impact, which could affect long-term visibility. Additionally, brake discs and calipers should be examined for corrosion or binding, as uneven tyre wear may hint at underlying braking inefficiencies. Structural rust or corrosion, though not flagged in recent tests, remains a consideration for a 9-year-old vehicle.
