AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a consistent pass history over the last four years. The most recent test on 28 November 2025 at 57,537 miles shows the car remains roadworthy, though the tester noted windscreen damage. While the vehicle failed its 15 November 2023 inspection due to structural tyre issues, it has since cleared all defects, indicating that identified faults are being addressed rather than allowed to persist. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical low-to-mid usage pattern for a 2017 model. The vehicle has covered approximately 12,000 miles since the November 2022 test, averaging roughly 4,000 miles per year in the most recent period. This steady progression from 45,589 miles in 2022 to 57,537 miles in late 2025 suggests regular, predictable use rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive heavy-duty driving. A buyer should pay close attention to the tyre and wheel condition during a physical inspection. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of tyre-related issues, including sidewall bulging on the rear tyres in November 2023 and perishing on the rears in November 2022. This suggests the vehicle may spend time parked or is subject to age-related rubber degradation. Checking the remaining tread depth and looking for sidewall cracking or uneven wear on the front tyres is necessary to ensure recent replacements were fitted correctly. The repeated mentions of windscreen damage in both 2022 and 2025 warrant a close look at the glass for chips that could lead to cracks. Beyond the tyres and glass, the lack of advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions in the 2024 and 2025 records is a positive indicator of the vehicle's mechanical state. Focus the inspection on the underside for any signs of corrosion and confirm the integrity of the suspension components to ensure the tyre wear issues are not linked to alignment problems.

Our Verdict

This 2017 Hyundai i20 is a reasonable buy for a budget-conscious buyer, but the tyre-related MOT failure in 2023 warrants a careful inspection of current tyre condition. With a clean pass record since and modest mileage, it presents as a usable small hatchback with some minor noted wear items.

When negotiating on this vehicle, use the 2023 MOT failure for both front and rear tyre issues as leverage, as it suggests the previous owner may have deferred consumable maintenance. Ask for proof that all four tyres were replaced or rotated after the November 2023 failure, and confirm the service history covers the 1.2-litre petrol engine's routine intervals up to 57,537 miles. Given no aggregate model reliability data is available, lean on the individual MOT record which shows no engine, brake, or suspension failures across five tests.

The 1248cc petrol engine in this i20 typically offers modest fuel consumption suited to urban use, though exact economy figures are not provided in the data. As a small 2017 petrol hatchback, it should fall into a low road tax band and a competitive insurance group, keeping annual fixed costs modest. Based on the MOT pattern of tyre wear and windscreen chips, budget for periodic tyre sets and minor glass repair alongside standard servicing.

The 2023 MOT failure noted both front tyres worn close to the legal limit on the edge and both rear tyres with bulges from structural separation, so physically check all four tyres for even wear, sidewall damage, and remaining tread depth above 1.6mm. The 2022 and 2025 tests recorded windscreen damage not affecting the driver's view; inspect the glass for chips or cracks that could spread and require replacement. With rear tyres showing cracking or perishing as early as 2022, examine suspension bushes and alignment that may contribute to uneven tyre wear on this specific EF67ABX example.

The Hyundai i20 (EF67ABX) is a November 2017 registered blue 1.2-litre petrol model that has covered 57,537 miles as of its last MOT in November 2025. Its MOT history shows one failure in 2023 for worn front tyres and bulging rear tyres, but all subsequent tests passed with only minor advisories. The recorded mileage is around average for an eight-year-old small petrol car, and no major structural or mechanical defects have been flagged across the history.

No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Hyundai i20, so assessment relies solely on this vehicle's individual test history which shows no major mechanical faults.
