2013 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · SJ13 AEB

This Hyundai i20 presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 7 April 2025 at 85,625 miles passed without any defects or advisories. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids common age-related failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a thirteen year old vehicle. It covered 9,428 miles between the March 2023 test at 69,832 miles and the April 2024 test at 76,197 miles. The subsequent interval to April 2025 saw a further increase to 85,625 miles. These figures indicate regular use rather than long periods of standing, which generally helps preserve rubber seals and prevents battery degradation. The record shows a failure on 2 April 2024 at 76,196 miles, though the vehicle passed one mile later on the same day. The absence of listed defects for this failure is unusual but suggests a minor administrative error or a rapid rectification of a trivial item. There are no recurring mentions of suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust leaks across the five-year history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT tester does not always scrutinize deeply. Check for underbody corrosion and the condition of the coil springs, as these are common weak points for this model's age. While the MOT history is exceptionally clean, verifying the service history for oil changes and timing belt intervals is necessary to ensure the mechanical health matches the clean testing record.
