2012 Hyundai IX20 1.4L Petrol · CX12 WML

The Hyundai IX20 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 December 2025 at 73,151 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 73,151 against a December 2012 build, averaging roughly 5,225 miles per year. The DVSA entries show gentle, consistent use: 68,483 miles in January 2022, 69,676 by January 2023, 70,564 by December 2023, 71,847 by December 2024, and 73,151 by December 2025. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear; the car covered just 1,668 miles across the last three years. Low annual use of this kind often means long standing periods, which can allow corrosion and perished rubber to develop even where the MOT shows a clear sheet. The five-year record carries no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills and subframe, since the tester may not have flagged early surface rust on a lightly used car. Check the condition of tyres and wiper blades for age cracking from standing, and confirm the brake calipers are not seizing after low-mileage dormancy. Given the clean history and minimal wear, the vehicle reflects careful ownership rather than deferred upkeep. The absence of repeated failures suggests basic consumables were maintained on schedule. A pre-purchase check remains sensible, but the MOT data alone shows no worsening mechanical or structural risks.
