HYUNDAI IX202016 · 1.6L Diesel

The Hyundai ix20 shows a broadly roadworthy status following the most recent examination. In the May 2025 test at 44,975 miles the tester passed the vehicle with no defects recorded, confirming a stable maintenance trend. The earlier history supports this, though a failed test on 26 April 2024 at 38,528 miles with no defects listed remains an irregularity that tempers absolute confidence. Odometer data indicates low usage for a ten-year-old car. The recorded 44,975 miles equate to roughly 4,500 miles per year. The MOT log exposes inconsistencies. In May 2022 the car passed at 27,114 miles. By May 2023 the reading climbed to 31,793 miles. On 26 April 2024 the records display a pass at 26,399 miles, a drop below the prior year, and a fail at 38,528 miles on the same day. Such conflicting figures point to possible recording errors or mileage discrepancy rather than steady accumulation. The clean defect list across all tests shows no flagged tyres, wiper blades or mechanical faults. A buyer should prioritise physical verification of the anomalous entries. Inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for degradation linked to short urban journeys. Examine brake discs and calipers for binding after extended standing, as low mileage can conceal intermittent seizure. Check structural integrity underneath for corrosion and assess exhaust emissions during a cold start. Validate the true mileage via service invoices and VIN checks to clarify the 2024 contradiction. Previous keepers seemingly met basic test standards, but the documentation gap demands scrutiny before purchase.
