2018 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · WX68 APZ

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 22 October 2025 at 27,170 miles where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. Every annual examination from 8 October 2021 through 24 October 2024 returned a straightforward pass with no advisories or mechanical faults logged. This consistent record indicates the previous keeper addressed any required upkeep before each test and the i20 has not exhibited worsening corrosion, suspension wear, or brake defects over its eight-year service life. Mileage accumulation has been exceptionally low for a 2018 registration. The odometer read 7,343 miles at the 8 October 2021 test, rose to 10,367 miles by 17 October 2022, then 14,955 miles at the 23 October 2023 examination. The 24 October 2024 test passed with no defects recorded though no mileage was entered, and the 22 October 2025 test showed 27,170 miles. That equates to roughly 3,400 miles per annum, suggesting extended periods of storage or light local use. Such sparse usage leaves the suspension bushes, brake calipers and exhaust system vulnerable to moisture-related corrosion and seized components despite the absence of recorded failures. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, particularly around sills and subframes where standing vehicles degrade. The tester noted no binding calipers or worn coil springs, but low-mileage cars often hide stiff suspension bushes and flat-spotted tyres from long parking. Verify brake disc condition and check for perished rubber on wiper blades and door seals. The clean MOT history implies the former owner maintained basic compliance, yet absence of advisories does not guarantee freedom from latent wear on consumables. Given the fault-free record, the i20 stands as a low-risk purchase from a mechanical standpoint, but pre-sale scrutiny of underside rust and brake function remains prudent. The steady pass rate across five consecutive tests reflects responsible stewardship rather than deferred maintenance.
