2013 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · CE13 ADU

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status following a successful MOT on March 2, 2026, at 160,346 miles. The maintenance trend shows a shift toward stability. While the car previously experienced failures requiring immediate rectification, the two most recent tests passed without any recorded defects or advisories. This suggests that the owner has addressed identified mechanical issues during the previous failure cycles, bringing the vehicle into a state of compliance for the current testing period. At 13 years old, the recorded 160,346 miles represent a high-usage profile averaging approximately 12,300 miles per annum. The data shows consistent and heavy usage, with nearly 10,000 miles covered between March 2024 and February 2025, and another 9,927 miles between February 2025 and March 2026. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting, which typically prevents accelerated degradation of the drivetrain and suspension components compared to vehicles subject to long-term standing periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. Despite the clean MOT passes, the high mileage necessitates a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for signs of premature rubber fatigue. Given the previous failures, the braking system should be inspected for thin discs or binding calipers. Because the vehicle is over a decade old, examining the chassis for structural corrosion on the sills and mounting points is essential to ensure that the high mileage has not compromised the structural integrity of the frame.
