2010 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · DE60 PXB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive preventative care. The most recent test in January 2026 at 64,753 miles resulted in a pass only after a failure just two miles prior. While the car consistently passes its inspections, the recurring failures regarding basic components like washer fluid and wipers suggest that the owner only addresses defects when they directly threaten an MOT certificate. At 64,753 miles, this 16-year-old Hyundai has covered significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. The usage pattern is remarkably consistent, with roughly 1,250 miles driven between the January 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 1,000 miles between 2025 and 2026. Low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and surface corrosion due to lack of use, which aligns with the findings in the suspension system. A buyer must personally inspect the rear suspension closely, as the January 2026 test flagged both the nearside and offside rear coil springs for corrosion. This type of structural decay is common on low-mileage vehicles and can lead to spring failure if not replaced. Furthermore, the January 2025 failure for significantly worn rear brake discs indicates that the braking system was neglected until reaching a limit. You should verify the current thickness of the brake pads and discs and ensure the replacement made after that failure was performed correctly and shows no signs of uneven wear or pitting.
