2015 Hyundai IX20 1.6L Petrol · AF65 XBH

The Hyundai IX20 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 September 2025 at 33,434 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following an anomalous failure on the same date at identical mileage where the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior annual tests in September 2024, 2023, and 2022 all passed cleanly at 31,263, 28,911, and 26,733 miles respectively, showing no advisories or recurring defects across the four-year record. The mileage pattern reflects light use for an 11-year-old vehicle. The car covered just 2,171 miles between September 2022 and September 2025, averaging roughly 724 miles per year over that span after 26,733 miles at the 2022 test. Such low accumulation suggests extended standing periods or short local journeys, which can allow corrosion and perished rubber components to develop despite low wear on drivetrain parts. The DVSA history is sparse and clean, with no flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity concerns at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills, subframes, and suspension mounts given the low mileage and likely static storage. Standing vehicles commonly suffer from seized handbrake mechanisms, flat-spotted tyres, and degraded coil springs that a pass with no defects will not capture. Verify the 2025 same-day fail was purely clerical by checking the V5C and DVSA portal, as the duplicate entry at 33,434 miles warrants confirmation before purchase.
