2013 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · DA13 TYK

The Hyundai i20 presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 19 March 2026 at 63,835 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with three consecutive annual passes and no advisories or faults logged across the 2024 to 2026 records. A failed entry on the same date as each pass in 2025 and 2026, with no defects stated, indicates administrative rejections rather than mechanical failure, leaving the underlying condition clean. Mileage sits at 63,835 from new, averaging roughly 4,910 miles per year on a 13-year-old car. The odometer moved only 2,219 miles between the April 2024 test at 59,616 miles and the March 2026 test at 63,835, confirming very light use. Low annual coverage like this often means long stationary periods, which can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop despite minimal wear on drivetrain parts. The absence of recorded advisories means no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural integrity issues were flagged by the tester. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody corrosion and brake caliper condition, as standing vehicles rot silently between tests. Verify the reason for the twin fail-pass logs on 29 March 2025 and 19 March 2026 with DVSA, since the system shows no defect data behind those failures. Given the sparse and clean history, previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current enough to clear the annual test. The low mileage and zero advisories suggest a lightly used car, though in-person checks on tyres, wiper blades, and hidden rust remain sensible before purchase.
