2021 Hyundai I20 SE Connect Mhev T-GDI Auto 1.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · PF21 AJO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-02 at 17,891 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but a subsequent failed test on the same date suggests administrative inconsistency or potential oversight. The lack of recorded defects in the 2024-04-23 test at 11,414 miles and the 2025 pass indicates a stable maintenance trend, though the repeated same-date entries raise questions about data accuracy. No structural, braking, or suspension issues were flagged, implying no immediate roadworthiness risks. However, the absence of recent testing beyond 2025-05-02 means the car’s current compliance status is unverified. The vehicle’s mileage of 17,891 miles over five years equates to approximately 3,578 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage suggests infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate corrosion in underbody components and degrade rubber seals. The 6,477-mile increase between the 2024 and 2025 tests occurred within 13 months, reflecting a sudden spike in usage that may have overstressed consumables like tyres or brake pads. The sparse MOT history offers limited insight into long-term wear patterns, but the lack of recurring defects implies basic maintenance was prioritized. A buyer should inspect the underbody for rust or corrosion, particularly around the chassis and exhaust system, given the low mileage and potential for stagnant conditions. Check suspension bushes and coil springs for premature wear, as low-mileage vehicles can develop stiffness or cracking in these components. The brake system, including discs and calipers, should be examined for uneven wear or binding, as infrequent use may lead to seized components. Verify the current MOT status, as the last recorded test predates the current date by over a year, making the vehicle legally unroadworthy without retesting.
