2015 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · VN15 ABU

The Hyundai i20’s most recent MOT tests, conducted just six months ago on 2025-11-03, show a stable roadworthiness trend with no defects recorded across two consecutive passes. While the back-to-back pass and fail at identical mileages (112,019 and 112,020) on the same date appear anomalous, this is likely an administrative quirk rather than a mechanical issue, as both entries confirm no faults. The vehicle’s last full MOT clearance in October 2024 also passed without advisories, suggesting consistent compliance with basic roadworthiness standards. However, the absence of any recorded defects does not preclude underlying wear—particularly in high-mileage components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers—which are not routinely inspected beyond functional testing. The recorded mileage progression of approximately 10,184 miles annually aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, though the gap between the 2024 and 2023 tests—roughly 9,000 miles in just over a year—indicates no prolonged periods of neglect. The lack of advisories or partial failures in earlier tests further implies the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme conditions or deliberate misuse. Still, the consistent annual mileage suggests regular use, which accelerates wear on consumables like tyres, brake pads, and wiper blades—areas that should be scrutinised independently. Given the sparse MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension integrity, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, as these are common failure points in this model at this mileage. The brakes, while not explicitly failed, warrant closer examination for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the discs—especially if the vehicle has been exposed to wet or salted roads. Structural corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, should also be checked, as this model is prone to rust in high-rainfall areas. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions components, though not flagged, may require verification for leaks or catalytic converter efficiency, given the vehicle’s age.
