2022 Hyundai I20 SE Connect Mhev T-GDI 1.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · AF72 YLM

The most recent MOT, carried out on 9 September 2025, was passed with no recorded defects, and the preceding test on 17 September 2024 also returned a clean result. This consecutive record of defect‑free passes indicates a stable maintenance pattern and suggests that any servicing or repairs required to keep the car roadworthy have been addressed in a timely manner. There is no evidence of a deteriorating trend, and the vehicle has met the statutory safety and emissions standards for two successive years. At four years old the i20 has logged 35 830 miles, which works out to just under 9 000 miles per annum. This is broadly in line with the UK average for a small family hatchback and does not point to either unusually light use or excessive mileage accumulation. The mileage figure is consistent with regular, moderate‑distance driving rather than prolonged periods of storage, meaning that wear on consumables such as tyres, brake pads and clutch components should be typical for a vehicle of this age and usage level. For a prospective buyer the principal checks should focus on age‑related wear rather than mileage‑driven failure. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for any cracking, dry rot or bulging, and verify that the tread depth is at least 1.6 mm across the width; tyres older than six years can deteriorate even if the tread appears adequate. Examine the 12‑volt battery for signs of sulfation or reduced cranking power, and consider a load test or a voltage check after a short drive, as batteries can lose capacity after four years of service. Verify that the engine oil, coolant and brake fluid have been changed in accordance with the manufacturer’s intervals – typically every 12 000 miles or 12 months for oil, and every two years for brake fluid – and look for any signs of fluid leakage around the oil filter housing, coolant hoses and brake lines. Finally, assess the braking system by feeling for any pulsation, noise or uneven pull when applying the brakes, which could indicate disc corrosion, uneven pad wear or a sticking caliper after periods of inactivity. Check the suspension by listening for clunks over bumps and inspecting the condition of the front and rear suspension bushes, shock absorbers and coil springs for any signs of wear or leakage. A visual inspection of the under‑body for rust, especially around the wheel arches, sills and chassis rails, will reveal whether the car has been exposed to moisture while standing. Confirm that the service book contains stamps for regular oil changes, filter replacements and any scheduled inspections; a complete service history will give confidence that the vehicle has been maintained in line with Hyundai’s recommendations and will help anticipate the next service milestones.
