2012 Hyundai IX20 1.4L Petrol · DF61 LFN

The vehicle shows a stable maintenance trend with a clean MOT record in its most recent tests. The January 2026 test at 107,779 miles recorded no defects, which follows a clean pass in February 2025 at 103,848 miles. This recent history suggests that previous mechanical issues have been addressed and the vehicle is currently in a good state of compliance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. The records show steady usage over the last decade, with the distance increasing predictably from 26,743 miles in June 2015 to the current 107,779 miles. There are no significant periods of long-term inactivity or sudden spikes in mileage that would suggest irregular use or neglected service intervals. A buyer should focus on the steering and suspension components, as the record shows a recurring issue with the nearside front track rod end ball joint. This fault was noted in January 2023 at 89,696 miles and reappeared in January 2024 at 97,081 miles. While the 2026 test was clean, a physical inspection of the steering linkage and front suspension bushes is necessary to ensure the play has been permanently rectified. The history also indicates past issues with consumables and minor mechanical wear. The tester flagged pitted or scored offside rear brake discs in January 2024 and corrosion on both rear coil springs in January 2020. Although these specific items passed subsequent tests, a thorough check of the braking system for binding calipers and an inspection of the rear suspension for structural corrosion or spring fatigue is advisable to confirm the vehicle's ongoing integrity.
