HYUNDAI I202011 · 1.4L Diesel

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of first-time passes. The most recent test on 21 May 2024 at 155,000 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This trend of clean certificates extends back through five consecutive years of testing, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage pattern is typical for a 15-year-old city car, averaging roughly 10,333 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between February 2023 and May 2024, where the odometer rose from 130,008 to 155,000 miles. This period saw the car cover nearly 25,000 miles in just over a year, more than double its historical annual average. Despite the clean MOT record, the high total mileage of 155,000 miles necessitates a physical inspection of high-wear components. The absence of recorded advisories is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage, particularly regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness. A buyer should specifically check for signs of oil leaks from the engine and gearbox, as well as the condition of the exhaust system and chassis for surface corrosion. Attention should be paid to the drivetrain and clutch operation given the recent surge in mileage. While the DVSA records show no failures, the lack of any noted wear on consumables over five years suggests the vehicle may have undergone significant off-record maintenance or that the testers were lenient. Verifying service invoices for timing belt replacements and fluid changes is essential to confirm the mechanical integrity matches the clean MOT history.
