2017 Hyundai IX20 1.4L Petrol · AP51 ACP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent MOT on 20 October 2025 at 22,825 miles. This follows a period of minor consumable issues in 2024, suggesting that the previous owner addressed identified wear. The absence of defects in the latest test indicates that the mechanical and structural condition has improved from the previous year's advisories. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a 2017 model, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per year. The records show a consistent, slow increase in distance, moving from 10,618 miles in October 2020 to 22,825 miles in October 2025. While this low usage reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, the pattern of tyre perishing noted in 2022 and 2024 suggests the vehicle may sit idle for extended periods, which can cause rubber components to degrade even without significant road use. A prospective buyer should focus on the condition of the braking system and tyres during a physical inspection. The October 2024 test flagged worn, pitted, or scored nearside front brake discs alongside thinning front brake pads. Although the 2025 test showed no defects, it is prudent to check for any signs of uneven pad wear or disc corrosion that can occur when a vehicle is driven infrequently. The history also highlights recurring issues with tyre integrity, specifically cracking or perishing on both nearside and offside tyres in 2022 and 2024. Because low mileage does not prevent age-related rubber degradation, the tread depth and sidewall condition should be verified to ensure the tyres are not reaching the end of their service life due to age rather than wear. The wiper failure in 2023 was a minor, isolated issue that does not indicate broader mechanical neglect.
