2019 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · DP69 WGU

This 2019 Hyundai I20 presents a stable mechanical condition with no serious structural or safety-critical defects recorded across its MOT history. The most recent test on 18 November 2025 at 31,421 miles passed with only a minor advisory for a perished offside rear tyre, indicating the vehicle has remained fundamentally sound into late 2025. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, though a recurring pattern of tyre perishing and wear suggests consumable upkeep has been reactive rather than proactive. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,489 miles per year. Between the November 2024 test at 27,642 miles and the November 2025 test at 31,421 miles, the car covered 3,779 miles, consistent with light but regular use. The record shows no alarming gaps or sudden accumulation that would suggest long-term standing or odometer discrepancies. The 2022 test recorded 18,429 miles, meaning approximately 9,213 miles were covered in the following two years, a steady and plausible progression for urban or short-distance commuting. The most persistent theme across the MOT record is tyre condition. The 2023 test at 24,749 miles flagged all four tyres for perishing or cracking, with the nearside front also worn close to the legal limit. The 2024 failure at 27,635 miles recorded a cut deep enough to expose the ply or cords on the nearside rear tyre, alongside perishing on the offside rear. A buyer should carefully inspect all four tyres for age-related cracking, sidewall damage, and uneven wear, and confirm whether the tyres have been replaced since the November 2025 advisory. Beyond tyres, the absence of any suspension, braking, or structural corrosion defects across five years of testing is reassuring, but a physical inspection should still verify brake disc and pad condition, suspension bushes, and exhaust integrity given the vehicle's age and low mileage, which can allow moisture accumulation and deterioration from infrequent use.
