2016 Hyundai IX20 SE Auto 1.6L Petrol · BV16 NFJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 12 November 2025 at 18,336 miles. The record shows a clear improvement from the 2022 failure, with no repeat defects in the subsequent three annual tests, indicating a stabilising maintenance trend. Mileage has risen from 12,320 miles in October 2022 to 18,336 miles in November 2025, an average increase of roughly 1,800 miles per year. The incremental growth of 2,439 miles between October 2023 and October 2024, and 1,803 miles to the latest test, confirms a consistently low‑usage pattern for a ten‑year‑old model. No sudden spikes or long gaps appear in the data, suggesting the car has been driven lightly rather than stored for extended periods. The 2024 MOT flagged slight play in the off‑side front outer track‑rod end ball joint and wear on the off‑side front inner suspension arm pin or bush. A buyer should therefore inspect the front steering and suspension components for excessive movement, corrosion, or cracked bushes, and verify that the alignment feels neutral. Repeated rear tyre wear warnings in 2022, 2023 and 2024 merit a close examination of the rear tyres for tread depth and uniformity, and a check of the rear suspension and wheel alignment for any contributing factors. The windscreen washer insufficiency noted in 2022 has been resolved, but confirming the washer system functions correctly is prudent. Finally, confirm that the adult seat‑belt harness is fully accessible and that the brake pads and discs show acceptable thickness, even though no brake defects have been recorded.
