2013 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · DY63 MMX

The vehicle presents a marginal roadworthiness profile with a maintenance history indicating a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. In the most recent test in October 2025 at 74,647 miles, the car passed only after addressing failures involving lighting, seat belt damage, and headlight alignment. While the vehicle is currently roadworthy, the recurring nature of failures across the last two years of testing suggests that the owner only rectifies faults when necessitated by the MOT tester, rather than performing regular preventative maintenance. At approximately 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 74,647 miles represents an average of roughly 5,700 miles per year. This low usage typically suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, but the data reveals risks associated with age-related degradation instead. Between October 2023 at 67,790 miles and October 2024 at 70,825 miles, the car covered only 3,035 miles. Despite this low activity, the tester noted corroded rear coil springs and shock absorbers, indicating that components are suffering from time rather than mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody to assess the extent of the general corrosion noted in the 2025 record. Surface rust on low-mileage vehicles can quickly progress into structural integrity issues if left unmanaged. The rear braking system requires attention as the offside rear service brake was flagged as fluctuating in the latest test, which often indicates thinned discs or a sticking caliper. Additionally, the history of perishing and cracking tyres in both 2024 and 2025 suggests the rubber components are reaching the end of their life due to age, necessitating replacement regardless of tread depth.
