2014 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · KY14 AED

The Hyundai i20’s most recent MOT test on 2025-11-14 confirms it remains roadworthy at 62,639 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. This represents a stable maintenance pattern over the past two years, as all preceding tests—including the 2024-11-26 retest—also passed without failings. The absence of recurring faults suggests the vehicle has been consistently maintained, though the single failure in 2024-11-25 (likely a procedural or administrative oversight rather than a mechanical issue) does not indicate underlying problems. The lack of advisories across all tests further implies no deferred or neglected repairs have been ignored. The recorded mileage of 62,639 miles over approximately 12 years equates to an average of around 5,220 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the 2023-03-10 test (52,590 miles) and the 2024-03-08 test (56,657 miles) shows a 4,067-mile accumulation in just 12 months—nearly double the long-term average—before settling back to a slower pace. This suggests periods of light use or storage, which could impact fluid degradation or suspension component wear if the vehicle was left stationary for extended periods. The consistent passing tests, however, mean no urgent mechanical concerns have been overlooked during these low-mileage phases. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and the occasional rapid mileage spikes. The brakes, while never failed, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle was driven aggressively during the 2023–2024 period. Structural integrity—particularly underbody and wheel arch corrosion—should also be examined, as low mileage does not preclude rust development in exposed areas. Tyres, despite no MOT failings, warrant inspection for uneven tread wear or age-related degradation, as they are consumables not always flagged in tests. Finally, fluid levels and condition in the engine, transmission, and differential should be verified, as prolonged storage can lead to contamination or degradation.
