2011 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · EN60 FCX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent test in February 2026 with no defects recorded. Looking at the broader history, the maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner consistently addresses MOT failures immediately following the test. The failure in February 2026 at 113,683 miles regarding the nearside rear door mechanism was rectified within twenty-four hours, suggesting a proactive approach to minor mechanical and trimwork repairs rather than long-term neglect. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. There is a notable jump of over 12,000 miles between January 2025 (103,078 miles) and February 2026 (113,684 miles), which represents normal annual usage rather than long periods of standing stationary. This steady accumulation is generally positive for mechanical components and rubber seals, as it prevents the premature degradation and fluid stagnation often seen in low-mileage vehicles of this age. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and steering hardware, as the record shows recurring issues in these areas. The 2021 test flagged play in the steering arms and a lift in the top mount, while the 2023 test identified play in the nearside track rod end. While these were cleared to pass subsequent tests, a physical inspection is required to ensure that the wear has not progressed into more developed play in the ball joints or the surrounding bushings. The history also highlights frequent failures of minor external items such as bulbs, wiper blades, and door catches. While these do not indicate a structural risk, the repeated failure of the nearside rear door catch suggests the mechanism may be prone to fatigue. Inspect the physical operation of all door hinges and the integrity of the windscreen system to ensure the vehicle remains in the clean condition demonstrated by the latest MOT certificate.
