2009 Hyundai I20 1.4L Diesel · CY09 LZF

The Hyundai i20 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 December 2024 at 136,081 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 28 November 2023 at 130,249 miles confirms no outstanding advisories or faults have carried forward. Recorded mileage sits at 136,081 against a 2009 build, equating to roughly 8,005 miles per year which is typical for the age. The DVSA entries show steady annual use: 122,770 miles on 28 November 2022, 130,249 by 28 November 2023, and 136,081 by December 2024. The two failed tests in November 2022 and November 2023 list no defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection, and the clean passes immediately after suggest the vehicle was not subject to deferred repairs. Given the absence of advisories across all five records, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable items not captured by MOT pass criteria. At 17 years old, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc thickness, and underbody corrosion warrant physical checks despite no tester flags. The exhaust emissions and structural integrity have shown no recorded concern, but standing moisture or age-related rust on sills and subframes remains plausible on a 2009 chassis. The history implies a previous owner who maintained basic test compliance but left no documented evidence of proactive component renewal. A buyer should verify service intervals independently and budget for age-related wear on dampers and tyres not surfaced in the MOT data.
