2009 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · DV59 YTN

An unusually low usage pattern defines this vehicle, characterized by a recent period of clean MOT results following a history of minor component wear. The most recent test on 07 October 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a trend of clean certificates through 2025 and 2024. This follows a period between 2022 and 2023 where the vehicle received advisories specifically concerning the condition of the rear brake discs, which were noted as being worn, pitted, or scored. The recorded mileage of 22,702 miles for a 2009 model represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 1,335 miles. This extremely low mileage suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary or has been used for very infrequent short journeys. Mechanically, while this reduces wear on high-mileage components like the engine and gearbox, it can lead to different issues such as the degradation of rubber components or the accumulation of surface corrosion on braking surfaces due to lack of regular friction. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system and suspension during a test drive. Although the recent records show no current advisories, the history of pitted and scored rear brake discs and thinning brake pads indicates these components have been subject to wear and environmental corrosion. During a test drive, listen for any grinding noises when applying the brakes and feel for any pulsations or judder through the brake pedal, which could indicate uneven disc surfaces. The 2020 inspection also flagged slight play in the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint. While this was not repeated in subsequent tests, it is prudent to check the front suspension for any knocking or clunking sounds when driving over uneven road surfaces or speed bumps. Such noises often indicate that suspension bushes or linkage joints have developed excessive play, which can affect steering precision and stability.
