2015 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · A8 VPE

The Hyundai i20 presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA examination. On 17 October 2025 at 72,892 miles the vehicle passed with no defects recorded, confirming a stable maintenance trend across the full five-year history. Every annual test from 18 October 2022 through to the 2025 renewal returned a clean pass, with the only anomaly being a duplicate failure entry on the same 2025 date carrying no listed defects, which points to an administrative DVSA recording error rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for an 11-year-old car. The odometer read 54,047 miles in October 2022, rose to 59,991 by October 2023, then 65,628 in October 2024, and reached 72,892 in October 2025. That equates to roughly 6,600 miles per year with no sudden jumps or unexplained gaps, indicating consistent moderate use by prior keepers and no evidence of long dormant periods that might invite seized calipers or flat-spotted tyres. The absence of any advisories across suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or corrosion in the records suggests the previous owners kept basic upkeep current. A clean sheet over five consecutive tests is a positive signal, though MOT passes with zero advisories do not confirm component condition beneath test thresholds. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for hidden rust, verify brake caliper operation and disc wear at 72,892 miles, and check tyre sidewalls and suspension bushes for age-related perishing not caught by the tester. The duplicate 2025 failure with no defects warrants a V5C and DVSA record check to confirm no suppressed fault data exists before purchase.
