2020 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · EF69 OMK

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT on 29 December 2025 at 25,969 miles. While the test initially failed that that day due to a non-functional horn, the defect was rectified immediately to achieve a pass. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has passed its last three annual inspections without recurring mechanical or structural failures recorded in the DVSA database. The mileage profile is consistently low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per year. Data shows steady progression between tests, moving from 15,148 miles in December 2022 to 25,969 miles in late 2025. This low usage suggests the car has been used primarily for short trips. While low mileage typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and suspension, it also introduces specific risks related to components that age rather than distance. A buyer should pay close attention to the rubber components, as the December 2024 test at 23,619 miles flagged all four tyres for perishing and cracking. This is a classic symptom of low-mileage vehicles where the rubber compound degrades before the tread depth is exhausted. Inspecting the sidewalls for deep fractures is necessary to ensure the tyres are not structurally compromised by age. Additionally, because the car sits for long periods, the buyer should check the brake discs for surface corrosion or seized calipers, which often occur when the vehicle is not driven frequently.
