2019 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · DP69 WGV

The most recent MOT on 22 May 2026 shows the car passed, but the only recorded defect was a stone‑chip on the windscreen that does not impair the driver’s view. The mileage at that test was 42,007 mi, which is typical for a seven‑year‑old 2019 Hyundai i20 (about 6,000 mi per year). The low‑average mileage suggests the vehicle has not been heavily used, but it also means that any wear on components is more likely to be age‑related rather than purely mileage‑driven. A recurring issue across the four previous MOTs is “slightly damaged/cracking or perishing” tyres. In 2023 two rear tyres were flagged, in 2024 three front and rear tyres were flagged, in 2025 one rear tyre was flagged, and the 2026 test again notes only a windscreen chip. The pattern shows that at least one tyre has been considered marginal each year, with the highest number of tyres noted in 2024. This indicates a steady, low‑level tyre‑wear problem rather than a sudden deterioration, but it does mean the current set of tyres may be nearing the end of their service life. Because the mileage is modest, the tyre wear is unlikely to be driven solely by high mileage; it is more likely due to age, possible under‑inflation, or a habit of aggressive cornering. The fact that different wheels are flagged each year suggests the tyres are being replaced or rotated, but the vehicle may still be using older tyre models that are beginning to age. The windscreen chip is minor but should be inspected to confirm it has not expanded.
