2010 Hyundai I20 1.4L Petrol · BD10 DVC

The vehicle's MOT history shows an inconsistent pattern of compliance, though the most recent test on 31 October 2025 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. The record indicates a trend of intermittent failures, specifically in September 2024 and September 2025, where the vehicle failed immediately prior to passing subsequent tests. While the latest result suggests the vehicle met minimum standards at that time, the recurring failure pattern suggests intermittent issues with components that require attention to meet MOT pass criteria. The recorded mileage of 127,042 miles reflects an average annual usage of approximately 7,940 miles over the vehicle's 16-year lifespan. This level of usage is consistent with typical domestic driving patterns for a vehicle of this age. The MOT data provides a snapshot of annual testing, but the lack of specific mileage increments between the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests makes it difficult to track precise wear rates on consumables or mechanical components over short intervals. Because the MOT history shows failures in both 2024 and 2025 without listing specific defect descriptions, a buyer cannot identify the exact mechanical cause of these failures from the record alone. This absence of detail necessitates a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, suspension bushes, and tyre tread depth. A buyer should also examine the vehicle for signs of structural corrosion or exhaust system degradation, as these are common issues on older vehicles that can lead to sudden MOT failures. The recent pass in October 2025 provides a baseline, but the previous year's failures suggest that mechanical components may be nearing the end of their service life or are prone to intermittent faults. Focus should be placed on verifying the condition of the drivetrain and ensuring that any issues leading to the 2024 and 2025 failures have been fully rectified rather than merely addressed to pass the test. buying_score: 55 risk_level: Medium.
