2014 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · EO64 ADV

The 2014 Hyundai i20 remains roadworthy as of its latest MOT on 22 April 2025 at 76,981 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. Maintenance trend stays stable across the visible history. The pass in April 2025 follows clean tests in May 2023 and April 2024, with no advisories on suspension, brakes, or structure. A curious failure on 22 April 2024 at 76,082 miles listed no defects, yet a pass on the same date at 76,085 miles cleared the vehicle, indicating a clerical retest rather than a mechanical fault. From 13 October 2022 at 74,288 miles to 11 May 2023 at 75,238 miles the car covered just 950 miles in seven months. Subsequent annual tests show 76,085 miles in April 2024 and 76,981 in April 2025, equating to under 900 miles per year. This recent accumulation sits far below the lifetime average of roughly 6,415 miles per year for a twelve-year-old car. Low use implies lighter wear on consumables but raises the risk of prolonged standing. The documentation is sparse yet unblemished aside from the same-day anomaly. A buyer should still inspect key components in person given the vehicle's age. The records flag no worn suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers, but rubber components degrade with time regardless of mileage. Examine brake discs for lip and corrosion, and check exhaust emissions during a warm engine run. Structural integrity demands an underside view; sills and subframes may harbour rust where moisture trapped during storage. Verify tyre sidewalls and wiper blades for perishing, though these are minor consumables rather than serious risks.
