2010 Hyundai I20 1.4L Petrol · CA10 WAE

The 2010 Hyundai i20 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 17 July 2025 at 57,397 miles which recorded no defects. Prior tests on 18 July 2024 at 54,911 miles and 20 July 2023 at 51,986 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no worsening faults across the available record. Recorded mileage sits at 57,397 against sixteen years of age, an average of roughly 3,587 miles per year. The gap between the 14 July 2022 test at 48,548 miles and the 20 July 2023 test at 51,986 miles added only 3,438 miles, with subsequent annual increments of 2,925 and 2,486 miles. This low, consistent accumulation points to light use or extended standing periods rather than neglected high-mileage wear. The MOT data is sparse but clean across all five entries. One anomaly warrants scrutiny: the 20 July 2023 record shows a failure at 51,986 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass on the same date and mileage. Such a duplicate entry typically reflects an administrative retest or clerical correction rather than a mechanical fault, but the buyer should verify the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm no suppressed defect exists. Given the absence of advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion, the i20 requires only standard pre-purchase checks. Inspect underbody structural integrity for rust from prolonged inactivity, test brake calipers for binding after standing, and confirm tyre sidewall condition given low annual rotation. The clean history implies prior owners kept basic consumable upkeep current.
