2014 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · DA14 AEE

The 2014 Hyundai I20 demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its last four MOT tests, including the most recent 2026-01-05 inspection at 80,287 miles. All prior tests from 2022 to 2025 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical or structural concerns. The vehicle’s service history suggests reliable operation, with no recurring faults or advisories flagged over its 12-year lifespan. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage, averaging 6,691 miles annually. The MOT records show regular testing intervals, with the longest gap between 2022-12-16 (51,219 miles) and 2022-01-04 (46,824 miles), a 4,395-mile increase over 11 months. Subsequent tests at 56,106 (2024-01-04) and 61,491 (2025-01-07) miles reflect steady accumulation, with no abrupt spikes that might indicate excessive wear or neglect. The absence of defects in all tests suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained within standard parameters. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time without visible MOT failures. Brake discs, calipers, and exhaust systems should also be checked for corrosion or wear, as these are common issues in older vehicles. While the MOT history shows no red flags, the lack of recorded advisories does not eliminate the need for a pre-purchase check to confirm the integrity of non-MOT-covered elements like body rust or drivetrain health.
