2017 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · EO17 ABU

The vehicle's current roadworthiness status appears stable following a successful MOT on 27 January 2026 at 48,571 miles. While the most recent test passed, the history shows a recurring pattern of failing on consumable items immediately before passing. The January 2026 failure specifically flagged both front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit and noted an inoperative nearside windscreen washer. This suggests a tendency for the owner to address minor maintenance issues only when prompted by the annual inspection rather than performing proactive servicing. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2017 model, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. The record shows consistent, incremental growth from 19,655 miles in March 2020 to the current 48,571 miles in early 2026. This low-use pattern often implies less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, but the February 2025 failure for a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system and thin brake pads indicates that even low-mileage vehicles require attention to ageing components. A prospective buyer should focus on the condition of the tyres and braking system. The records show repeated issues with tyre integrity, including deep cuts and ply exposure in February 2023 and edge wear in January 2026. The February 2025 failure for thinning brake pads suggests the pads may be nearing the end of their service life again. Given the history of windscreen washer and wiper failures, a physical check of the visibility systems and the electronic tyre pressure monitoring system is necessary to ensure these faults have been fully rectified. The absence of any recorded structural corrosion or suspension defects in the MOT history is a positive indicator for a vehicle of this age. However, the recurring minor failures regarding washer jets and wiper blades suggest a pattern of reactive rather than preventative maintenance. An inspection of the battery health and rubber components, such as suspension bushes and seals, is recommended to ensure that the low annual mileage has not led to excessive perishing or stagnation of fluids.
