2009 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · DN09 RMO

The Hyundai i20 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT on 19 December 2025 at 168,031 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable. Prior tests in December 2024 and November 2023 each show a failed entry immediately followed by a pass on the same day at near-identical mileages, yet the records list no defects against those failures, indicating administrative or presentation anomalies rather than mechanical faults. No advisories appear across the five-year span. The recorded mileage sits at 168,031 against a 2009 build, averaging roughly 9,884 miles per year, which is typical for the age. The car covered 22,003 miles between the November 2023 test at 130,209 miles and the December 2024 pass at 152,128 miles, then 15,903 miles to the December 2025 test. The data is sparse but clean, with no flagged wear on consumables or mechanical items across the visible history. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the vehicle's 17-year age and high cumulative mileage. The MOT record shows no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, but DVSA tests at this mileage can miss progressive wear not yet at failure threshold. Verify the twin failed entries from 2023 and 2024 with the DVLA to confirm no suppressed defect data exists. Check tyre tread depth, exhaust emissions and underbody for rust during a pre-purchase examination, as the clean record offers no evidence of neglect but equally no proof of proactive component renewal.
