2014 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · EO64 OAL

The Hyundai i20 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 9 October 2025 at 78,658 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The October 2025 pass came two days after a failure on 7 October 2025 at 78,656 miles, yet the DVSA entry logs no defects for either test. This suggests an administrative or presentation anomaly rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle cleared retest without recorded corrective work. Annual mileage sits at a modest average of roughly 6,555 miles per year against the car's 2014 build date. The records show steady accumulation: 65,092 miles in October 2022, 69,210 in October 2023, 74,801 in October 2024, and 78,658 by October 2025. That equates to around 4,000 to 5,500 miles added each year with no gaps or sudden jumps. The clean pass sheet at every annual interval indicates the previous keeper kept basic statutory testing current, though no advisory items appear, which can mean either genuine condition or that testers logged nothing minor. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's twelve years of age and low annual use, as standing periods can accelerate corrosion unseen by MOT testers. The absence of recorded advisories on tyres, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity across five tests is reassuring but not a substitute for checking underneath for rust and verifying the October 2025 fail-retest sequence with the selling garage. Given the sparse but clean record, focus the viewing on evidence of the two-day October 2025 turnaround and confirm no hidden weld or brake work was rushed. The low mileage implies lighter mechanical wear, yet age-related perishing of hoses, wiper blades, and flexible brake lines remains plausible despite the clear MOT trail.
