2015 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · AV65 BVA

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 29 April 2025 with no defects or advisories recorded, presenting a clean roadworthiness status at that point. Five tests are documented between 2022 and 2025, four of which resulted in passes with no recorded issues. The single failure occurred on 7 May 2024, but no defect details were captured in the record, and a subsequent pass followed the next day on 8 May 2024. The absence of recurring advisories across four successive passes suggests the maintenance trend is stable rather than deteriorating, though the failure does prevent a fully unblemished profile. Covering roughly 10,145 miles per year over an 11-year lifespan, the mileage accumulation is broadly typical for a car of this age and is not in itself a red flag. The annual test cadence shows consistent use rather than long periods of standing, with tests falling close to the May anniversary window each year. No gaps imply the vehicle has remained in regular service and inspection throughout the recorded period, which is a neutral factor from a roadworthiness standpoint. A physical inspection should nonetheless prioritise components that the MOT history does not fully illuminate. With mileage past the 111,000 mark, items such as suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, pads, and flexible exhaust sections warrant close scrutiny on a ramp, as these suffer cumulative wear not always flagged at annual test level. The exhaust system in particular merits a check for corrosion around joints and mounting points, while the underside should be examined for any surface rust beginning to compromise structural integrity. Given that the 2024 failure lacked recorded details, it is sensible to confirm with the seller what prompted the failure and what remedial work was carried out, as the absence of data leaves the cause unverified. Beyond the test record itself, a compression or mechanical health check, along with verification of cambelt or timing chain service intervals, would provide further confidence given the higher mileage bracket.
