Our Verdict
This 2009 Hyundai i20 presents a mixed p
When viewing this i20, examine the physical condition of the braking system and suspension components, as the December 2021 MOT noted corrosion on brake pipes and hoses, plus wear on front suspension arm and Macpherson strut bushes. Verify whether any remedial work has been carried out since that test date, and check for the presence of the oil leak noted as not excessive in the records. Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and the extensive list of historical advisories recorded at its last test.
Equipped with a 1.25-litre petrol engine, this i20 sits in a modest insurance group and should offer reasonable fuel economy for daily commuting or city driving. Vehicle Excise Duty will depend on the official CO2 emissions bracket for this 2009 variant. Maintenance costs should remain generally manageable, though low-mileage examples can occasionally require attention to perished rubber components and suspension bushes as they age.
Pay close attention to the braking system, specifically checking all brake pipes and hose ferrules for the corrosion previously flagged in the MOT history. Inspect the rear tyres for any signs of cracking or perishing, and check the operation of all exterior lighting including stop lamps. Additionally, inspect the front suspension arms, Macpherson strut bushes, and check underneath the engine bay for any oil leaks.
First registered in December 2009, this silver Hyundai i20 features a 1248.0cc petrol engine and has covered just 35,382 miles according to its December 2021 MOT test. The record shows a single test session in December 2021 which initially failed due to a non-working stop lamp alongside several component advisories before passing later that same day. Its mileage is significantly lower than the model average of 6,161 miles per year, though prospective buyers must account for potential aging issues on low-mileage vehicles.
The Hyundai i20 demonstrates an aggregate MOT pass rate of 80.7% across over 127,000 vehicles analysed, with brake pipes and windscreen wipers featuring among the top failure reasons.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2009 model year cars.
- DPF and EGR clogging on 1.4 CRDiModerate
The diesel suits motorway use, but repeated short trips clog the EGR and DPF, leading to limp mode, poor economy and expensive catch-up work on cheap town cars.
- Front springs, bushes and drop links wearing outModerate
Age and rough UK roads catch the PB at the front axle. Broken spring ends, worn lower-arm bushes and noisy drop links are far more common than serious engine trouble.
