Our Verdict
This 2016 Hyundai i20 (CY16AEC) is a sensible used buy with a largely clean MOT record and reasonable mileage for its age. The only notable blemish is a single 2023 TPMS failure that was retested and passed the same day, so caution is minimal but a working tyre pressure monitor should be confirmed.
When viewing CY16AEC, ask to see the full service history to confirm routine maintenance has been kept up, as the MOT record alone does not show this. The 2022 advisory for a worn drive belt suggests the auxiliary belt may be due for renewal soon if not already done, so factor this into any negotiation. Given the 2023 TPMS failure, verify the tyre pressure monitoring system resets and functions correctly using the dashboard warning check during a test drive.
The 1248cc petrol engine in this i20 is known for modest fuel consumption suited to town and commuter use, though no model-specific economy figures are provided here. As a 2016 petrol car under 1.3 litres, road tax is likely in a lower band, and insurance groups for the i20 are typically modest, keeping annual cover affordable. Routine maintenance such as belts, tyres, and servicing is inexpensive for this model, with estimated annual running costs in the region of £800-£1,000 including fuel, tax, insurance, and typical upkeep.
Inspect the tyre pressure monitoring system closely, as the October 2023 MOT failed on this exact point (5.2.3 (h)) before a same-day pass; confirm no warning light remains and sensors respond to pressure changes. Check the condition of the rear registration plate, noted as deteriorated but readable at the 2024 MOT, and replace if faded to avoid future advisory. Examine the auxiliary drive belt for wear given the 2022 advisory, and look over tyres, brakes, and suspension generally as part of a standard used-car inspection.
The vehicle shows 75,137 miles on its most recent October 2025 MOT, which is broadly in line with average use for a 10-year-old supermini. MOT history is mostly clean, with just one same-day failure in 2023 for an inoperative tyre pressure monitoring system and minor advisories for a worn drive belt and a deteriorated rear plate. As a 1.2-litre petrol i20 first registered in April 2016, it offers straightforward, low-complexity motoring with no major structural or mechanical failures recorded.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Hyundai i20, so this assessment relies solely on the individual history of CY16AEC.
