2017 Hyundai I20 1.4L Petrol · EN67 AEM

The 2017 Hyundai I20 passed its most recent MOT on 2025-12-19 at 109,468 miles, with no defects recorded. However, the prior test on 2025-12-11 at 109,123 miles resulted in a failure despite also reporting no defects. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative errors or unresolved issues not documented in the record. The vehicle’s maintenance history shows no recurring mechanical faults, but the proximity of the failed and passed tests raises questions about the reliability of the data. Overall, the trend appears stable, though the lack of defect details limits definitive conclusions. The vehicle’s mileage of 109,468 miles over nine years equates to an average of 12,163 miles annually, which is above the typical range for its age. Notable jumps include 13,354 miles between the 2023-12-12 test (82,335 miles) and the 2024-12-03 test (95,789 miles), followed by 13,679 miles to reach 109,468 miles by 2025-12-19. These rapid accumulations suggest frequent use, increasing wear on consumables like tyres and brake components. The absence of structural or mechanical defects in the record does not preclude hidden issues, particularly given the high mileage and the lack of detailed fault reporting. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension system, focusing on worn bushes or coil springs, which are common in high-mileage vehicles. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as high usage accelerates degradation. The exhaust system and corrosion on underbody panels also warrant attention, as these are often overlooked in MOT tests. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the vehicle’s age and mileage necessitate a professional assessment to confirm its mechanical integrity beyond the recorded data.
