HYUNDAI I202010 · 1.4L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2024-10-24 at 93,012 miles recorded a pass, though a concurrent failure entry exists without defect details. This suggests either a procedural error or a minor issue resolved prior to retesting. No defects were noted in prior tests, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the last four years. The absence of recurring faults or structural concerns in the history implies consistent upkeep, though the 2024 failure warrants scrutiny to confirm no unresolved issues. The vehicle’s mileage of 93,012 miles at 16 years old equates to approximately 5,813 annual miles, significantly below average for its age. This low usage aligns with gradual mileage increases: 78,422 (2021) to 81,759 (2022), 89,820 (2023), and 93,012 (2024). The consistent annual increments suggest regular, light usage rather than sporadic or heavy driving. However, prolonged low-mileage operation may lead to component stiffness or fluid degradation, necessitating closer inspection of seals, hoses, and electrical systems. A buyer should prioritise checking suspension components, particularly bushings and coil springs, for age-related wear given the vehicle’s maturity. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be assessed for corrosion or uneven wear, as low mileage can mask hidden issues. Structural integrity is unremarkable in the record, but rust in concealed areas—such as underbody panels or door sills—may require visual verification. The lack of advisories in MOT reports is positive, but the 2024 failure highlights the need for a pre-purchase inspection to confirm no unresolved defects.
