2013 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · DP13 CGZ

The vehicle's roadworthiness is currently questionable, showing a maintenance trend that is reactive rather than proactive. While it passed its most recent test in September 2025 at 88,796 miles, it did so after a failure involving multiple safety-critical defects. The transition from a clean record in 2023 to a series of failures in the last two years suggests that mechanical issues are only being addressed when they fail inspection rather than through regular preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year over the springer-year period. There is a notable gap of over 16,000 miles between August 2023 (62,792 miles) and August 2024 (78,842 miles), indicating steady use. While the low annual mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain, the frequency of consumable failures indicates that the parts which are used are not being monitored or replaced between test intervals. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and lighting, as the 2025 test flagged the main beam for being too low on the nearside and too high on the offside, which can indicate bent components or worn mounting points. The recurring issue with an insecure battery and defective wiper blades suggests a images of attention to detail that should be checked to ensure the battery is properly secured. Furthermore, the history shows repeated tyre failures, including exposed cords and uneven wear, highlighting a pattern of neglecting safety-critical rubber. The braking system also requires close scrutiny following the August 2024 advisory that both front and rear pads were wearing thin. Given that the 2025 failure also noted an oil level below the minimum, the buyer should check the engine for leaks or excessive consumption. While the vehicle is functional, the recurring nature of the lighting and tyre faults suggests that the next owner should be prepared for immediate maintenance expenses to bring the car to a high standard.
