2019 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · CT19 LRN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a minor trend of neglected consumable upkeep. The most recent test on 21 May 2026 at 32,246 miles resulted in a failure due to headlamp aim issues and perishing on both rear tyres. While the car passed the immediate re-test, the recurring presence of tyre degradation suggests the owner is not monitoring for age-related rubber rot, rather than just tread depth. At seven years old, the recorded mileage of 32,246 miles represents an annual average of approximately 4,600 miles. This low-usage pattern is consistent across the records, showing a gap of 4,489 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 7,452 miles between 2024 and 2026. Such low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it increases the likelihood of components like tyres and rubber seals drying out due to long periods of stationary use. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of all four tyres, as the MOT history flagged cracking and perishing on the front in 2024 and the rear in 2026. Because the car sits frequently, the inspector must check the brake discs for surface corrosion or seized calipers which often affect low vehicles. The headlamp aim failure indicates a simple adjustment was required, but verifying the alignment of the units is essential. No structural corrosion or suspension failures have appeared in the records, suggesting the chassis remains sound despite the age-related issues.
