2016 Hyundai IX20 1.4L Petrol · BV16 NFM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, following a clean pass in June 2025. However, the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach, as faults are consistently addressed only after an MOT failure. The June 2025 test at 25,119 miles failed due to a nearside stop lamp and critical tyre defects, including exposed cords. While the vehicle passed immediately upon retest, the recurring nature of these failures suggests basic safety checks were neglected prior to annual inspections. At ten years old, this 2016 Hyundai ix20 has covered exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-usage patterns, with 5,764 miles driven between June 2023 and 2024, and another 3,405 miles between 2024 and 2025. This profile typically indicates less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it increases the likelihood of rubber component degradation and brake corrosion if the car has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the condition of the tyres, as the record shows a history of cuts, nails, and uneven wear across multiple axles. The low mileage often leads to seized brake calipers or pitted brake discs, so a physical check for binding or excessive surface rust is necessary. The TPMS light noted in 2023 should also be verified to ensure the sensors are functional and not merely ignored. Given the lack of structural corrosion or suspension failures recorded, the primary risks remain related to age-related perish of consumables and the low-mileage maintenance gaps.
