2016 Hyundai IX20 1.6L Petrol · HE52 ABE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a highly consistent maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 10 July 2025 at 51,649 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a technical failure just two miles prior on the same day. This immediate rectification suggests the initial failure was likely a minor administrative error or a sensor issue that was corrected instantly, as the vehicle maintained a clean record across all previous annual inspections. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,165 miles per year. Between the July 2022 test at 24,476 miles and the July 2025 test at 51,649 miles, the car covered roughly 27,000 miles, maintaining a steady usage of about 9,000 miles annually. This low mileage typically indicates less strain on the drivetrain, engine, and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples, though low-mileage vehicles can occasionally suffer from the degradation of rubber components and fluid acidity due to inactivity. Because the MOT history shows no structural corrosion or recurring mechanical failures, a physical inspection should focus on the effects of low usage. A buyer should check for signs of perished brake hoses or seized calipers, which often occur when a car sits stationary for long periods. Given the age of the vehicle, inspecting the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for dry rot is also essential despite the low recorded mileage. The overall clean record suggests a vehicle that has been well-maintained and not subjected to heavy operational stress.
