2013 Hyundai IX20 1.6L Petrol · DV13 TYS

This vehicle presents a highly stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing its MOT tests. The most recent inspection on 22 December 2025 at 81,361 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that avoids common age-related failures. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a 13-year-old car. Between 21 December 2022 and 22 December 2025, the odometer rose from 66,232 to 81,361 miles, averaging roughly 5,000 miles per year over this period. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or long periods of stagnation that would suggest neglect or commercial misuse. The failure recorded on 15 December 2023 was resolved on the same day, indicating a prompt rectification of whatever minor issue triggered the initial result. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still perform a physical check of the underbody for corrosion. The DVSA tests focus on structural integrity and safety, but they do not always capture early-stage surface rust on subframes or suspension components. Given the age of the vehicle, checking the condition of the suspension bushes and the depth of the brake discs is prudent, as these consumables may be nearing the end of their service life despite not yet triggering an MOT advisory. The absence of recurring faults suggests a disciplined approach to maintenance by previous owners. There is no evidence of chronic issues with exhaust emissions, binding calipers, or tyre wear. A physical inspection should focus on the service history to confirm that oil changes and filter replacements align with the low-to-moderate mileage usage.
