2014 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · EO14 BXM

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean pass on April 7, 2026 at 32,438 miles. The maintenance trend appears improving, as the mechanical defects identified in the previous year have been successfully addressed. The absence of any advisories in the most recent test suggests that the current owner is proactive in rectifying safety-critical faults, moving the car to a state with no recorded defects. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 12 year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,700 miles per annum. Between April 2023 and April 2024, the car covered only 1,216 miles, indicating infrequent use or long periods of stationary storage. While this low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, such low usage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or brake surface oxidation. The consistent annual testing interval shows the vehicle has remained in regular road use despite the low odometer figures. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry, specifically the nearside front arm ball joint which failed during the April 2025 test at 29,195 miles. Although this was rectified before the subsequent pass, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from perished bushings or dried out joints due to age rather than friction. Verify the headlamp alignment remains correct, as the tester previously flagged a low aim on the offside. Given the low mileage, checking the brake discs for surface corrosion and the tyres for cracking is essential to ensure the vehicle has not sat idle for extended periods between tests.
