2017 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · EF67 ADZ

The Hyundai i20 has maintained a consistent MOT pass record with no defects recorded in the most recent test on 2025-11-05 at 47,969 miles, indicating current roadworthiness. The absence of advisories or failures across five consecutive tests—spanning from 2021 to 2025—suggests a stable maintenance history, though the underbody and engine cover fits noted in 2024 and 2021 imply routine corrosion prevention measures were applied. No recurring faults or progressive issues are evident, though the 12-month test intervals align with the legal requirement rather than proactive servicing. The recorded mileage of 47,969 miles over nine years—approximately 5,330 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either limited use or prolonged periods of inactivity. The gaps between tests (around 12 months) are standard, but the steady accumulation of mileage without spikes or drops implies consistent, albeit light, operation. The lack of advisories or defects in any test further supports that the vehicle has not been subjected to aggressive driving conditions or neglect, though the low mileage does not guarantee deferred wear on high-stress components like suspension bushes or drivetrain synchronisers. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension components—particularly rear coil springs and bushes—for premature wear, as low mileage does not always correlate with less stress on these parts. The underbody and engine cover fits in 2021 and 2024 warrant scrutiny for corrosion, especially around wheel arches, sills, and subframes, as these areas are critical for structural integrity. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, though the absence of brake-related advisories in past tests is reassuring. Finally, the battery and electrical connections, often overlooked in low-mileage vehicles, should be tested for corrosion or degraded performance, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate such issues.
