2022 Hyundai I20 SE Connect Mhev T-GDI Auto 1.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · DA22 ACF

This Hyundai i20 presents an essentially unblemished roadworthiness record, with both of its recorded MOT examinations resulting in clean passes and no mechanical defects, corrosion concerns, or structural issues ever flagged by a DVSA examiner. The most recent test on 9 April 2026 passed with no advisories whatsoever, and the only blemish across the vehicle's entire history is a single advisory from April 2025 concerning slight fraying of the nearside rear outer seat belt webbing. That this advisory did not reappear on the 2026 certificate indicates the belt was either replaced or repaired to a satisfactory standard, and the overall trend is one of stable, trouble-free roadworthiness rather than any developing pattern of wear. The recorded mileage of 15,383 miles over roughly four years equates to approximately 3,846 miles per annum, which is well below the UK average and consistent with light, possibly predominantly urban use. There are no gaps in the annual test sequence and no unusual jumps in recorded distance, so the odometer reading appears consistent. Mechanically, this low accumulation means the engine, mild-hybrid drivetrain, dual-clutch or automatic transmission components, suspension bushes, and brake hardware will have experienced far fewer operating cycles than a typical four-year-old example. The mild-hybrid system in particular benefits from regular use, and the consistent annual testing pattern suggests the car has remained in service rather than standing idle for extended periods. The one item warranting direct attention is that seat belt advisory. On inspection, examine the nearside rear belt closely: pull the webbing out to its full extent and check for fraying, cuts, glazing, or stiffness, and confirm it retracts smoothly and locks sharply when tugged. If the belt was replaced, ask for the invoice, as a genuine replacement part is preferable for a safety-critical restraint component. Also check the buckle and pretensioner housing for any signs of damage, and verify the rear seat occupancy sensors and belt warning indicators function correctly. Beyond the belt, the buyer's focus should be on confirming the low mileage is genuine and that the car has been serviced in line with Hyundai's schedule, which is time-based as well as mileage-based, so evidence of annual oil changes matters even at this distance. On a test drive, listen for any hesitation or shudder from the automated gearbox at low speeds, confirm the mild-hybrid stop-start system engages and restarts smoothly, and check that the brakes bite cleanly without judder, as lightly used cars can occasionally develop surface corrosion on discs that should clean up with use. With a clean MOT slate and modest mileage, this example represents a low-risk purchase provided the service history supports the odometer reading.
