2019 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · EF69 EUU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test in December 2025 at 54,098 miles, this followed a failure just one mile prior where multiple defects were identified. The failure involving the washer system, two tyres reaching the legal limit, and a suspension arm bush indicates that the previous owner only addressed mechanical and safety issues when forced to by the MOT tester, rather than identifying them during routine service intervals. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. Between December 2023 (32,062 miles) and December 2024 (44,200 miles), the car covered 12,138 miles, showing a period of higher usage. The subsequent interval of 9,836 miles between December 2024 and December 2025 returns to a more typical level. This relatively low mileage suggests the drivetrain components are not under excessive stress, though the age of the rubber components remains a factor of concern. A buyer must physically inspect the offside front suspension, as the tester flagged a worn bush in the December 2025 test. Although it passed without excessive movement recorded, these bushes often degrade rapidly and can lead to uneven tyre wear if not replaced. The oil leak noted in 2022 at 22,762 miles should also be re-examined to ensure it has not worsened into a significant leak over time. Given the recent failure for tyres worn on the edges, a professional alignment check is necessary to confirm the suspension geometry is not causing premature failure of new rubber.
