2022 Hyundai I20 SE Connect Mhev T-GDI 1.0L Hybrid electric · EA22 AHV

The primary mechanical concern for this Hyundai i20 centres on its tyre condition, as highlighted by recurring advisories for slight damage, cracking, or perishing across multiple wheels during its most recent MOT test. On 2026-07-10, the vehicle initially failed its test due to an inoperative offside rear fog lamp, alongside these noted tyre advisories on the offside front, nearside rear, and offside rear. The fog lamp was rectified promptly, allowing the vehicle to pass a retest on the same day, but the tyre advisories remained. This contrasts with its prior MOT on 2025-06-18, which recorded no defects or advisories, indicating a recent development in the tyre condition. With 27,806 miles recorded over approximately four years, this Hyundai i20 has accumulated mileage at a rate typical for its age, averaging around 6,952 miles per annum. This usage pattern generally indicates a balanced level of wear on consumable components such as brake pads, discs, and suspension bushes, without suggesting either prolonged periods of inactivity or unusually high stress from extensive long-distance travel. The consistent mileage accumulation across its test history provides a straightforward record of its operational use. Prospective buyers should conduct a thorough visual inspection of all four tyres, paying particular attention to the offside front, nearside rear, and offside rear, to assess the extent of the noted perishing or cracking. This involves checking the sidewalls for visible cracks, assessing the tread depth across the full width of each tyre, and noting the manufacturing date codes to determine their age. Tyres with significant perishing or cracking may compromise grip and structural integrity, necessitating replacement. While the offside rear fog lamp was rectified to achieve a pass on the same day as its failure, it is prudent to verify the operation of all exterior lighting during a viewing to ensure no other minor electrical faults are present. Beyond these specific points, a comprehensive pre-purchase inspection by a qualified technician is always recommended to assess the overall mechanical condition, including the braking system, suspension components, and underbody for any signs of wear or corrosion not yet flagged in the MOT history.
