HYUNDAI I20 N T-GDI2021 · 1.6L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and shows an improving maintenance trend following a period of neglect. The most recent MOT conducted in May 2026 at 28,164 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical and safety issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This transition from multiple failures in 2024 to a clean pass suggests the current owner has taken proactive steps to rectify previously flagged faults. The mileage profile is consistently low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression from 19,342 miles in August 2024 to 22,516 miles in May 2025, finally reaching 28,164 miles by last month. While the low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, the intervals between tests can sometimes lead to flat spotting tyres or corrosion if the car sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should pay close attention to the offside rear wheel bearing, as this was flagged with slight play in both the 2024 and 2025 failure reports. Although the 2026 test was clean, a physical inspection is required to ensure the bearing was actually replaced and is not beginning to fail again. Additionally, verify that the offside rear tyre was replaced, as a nail was a recurring defect across three separate testing cycles, suggesting a lack of basic preventative checks. The windscreen wiper blades and nearside front wheel arch liner should also be checked for secure fitment as these were previous points of failure.
