Known faults for Hyundai i20 (GB)
Our database tracks 3 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Excellent
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.

Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage relative to age. While the MOT history is surprisingly clean of failures, the vehicle has covered significantly more than the average driver of this model.
The primary consideration for this vehicle is the mileage. Having crossed 100,000 miles in just nine and a half years, you must verify that major service items, such as the timing belt (if applicable) and fluid changes, have been performed according to schedule. Ask for a full service history to ensure the high-mileage usage has been met with consistent maintenance.
Check for signs of wear and tear on the suspension and bushings, as these are common weak points for the i20. While the MOT history shows no recent failures, a physical inspection should check for any knocks or uneven tyre wear that often appear as vehicles approach the 100k mile mark.
The 1.4-litre diesel engine is designed for efficiency, likely offering low fuel consumption suitable for high-mileage users. However, diesel components can face higher maintenance costs as they age, particularly regarding particulate filters if the car has been used for short trips recently.
Annual costs are estimated between £1,100 and £1,400, accounting for fuel, tax, insurance, and the more frequent maintenance required for a vehicle with six-figure mileage.
Inspect the tyres and suspension components thoroughly; aggregate data for this model identifies suspension arms and tyres as common reasons for MOT failures, though this specific car has no recorded failures. Look for any bulging in the sidewalls or perished rubber bushings.
Given the mileage, pay close attention to the engine bay for any leaks and check the turbocharger condition. Ensure the clutch is not slipping, as high-mileage diesel cars put significant strain on the drivetrain over time.
This 2017 Hyundai i20 has clocked 105,807 miles, which is substantially higher than the fleet average of 5,944 miles per year. Despite the high usage, the vehicle maintains a perfect MOT record with five consecutive annual passes and no recorded defects or failures since 2021. The 1.4cc diesel engine suggests this was likely used for long-distance commuting rather than city driving.
The Hyundai i20 is generally considered reliable, but high-mileage diesel examples require strict adherence to fuel system and exhaust maintenance.
