2016 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · HF16 AEV

The 2016 Hyundai i20 is presently roadworthy; the most recent MOT on 28 April 2026 at 47,789 miles passed with no recorded defects, showing an improving trend after the only fault recorded in 2022. The earlier tests from 2022 to 2025 all returned passes, and the absence of any advisory or failure since the tyre issue suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a satisfactory standard. Mileage has risen from 33,291 miles in April 2022 to 47,789 miles in April 2026, an average of roughly 3,600 miles per year. This low annual accumulation is well below the typical 10‑12 k miles for a ten‑year‑old car, indicating light usage rather than prolonged storage. No abrupt spikes or gaps appear in the record; each yearly test shows a steady, modest increase in distance travelled. The 2022 test flagged “All 4 tyres cracked & perished,” so a buyer should give the current tyre tread, sidewall condition, and uniformity a thorough visual and tactile inspection. Although later tests recorded no tyre defects, it is prudent to verify that the replacement set has aged evenly and that tyre pressures hold. Checking the suspension for worn bushes or deteriorated coil springs is advisable, as low mileage does not preclude wear on these components. Brake discs and pads should be examined for surface scoring or uneven wear, especially since the MOT reports have not highlighted brake issues but a visual check can reveal early binding or glazing. Finally, a cursory survey for corrosion on the chassis, exhaust system, and under‑body panels will confirm that the low‑mileage usage has not masked any hidden structural rust.
