2015 Hyundai I20 1.4L Petrol · EO65 WUJ

This 2015 Hyundai i20 presents an unbroken run of eight consecutive MOT passes with not a single failure on record, and the most recent test on 18 September 2025 was passed with no defects or advisories whatsoever. The only recurring theme across the history is tyre condition: rear tyres were flagged for perishing and cracking in 2021, worn close to the legal limit in 2023 and again in 2024, with the nearside front also flagged at 2mm in 2023 alongside front brake pads recorded at 5mm thickness. The absence of any advisory in the latest test suggests these wear items have since been addressed, and there is no recorded history of corrosion, suspension, steering, or structural defects at any point. Recorded mileage stands at 71,804 miles over roughly eleven years, averaging about 6,500 miles per year, which is typical for a car of this age. Testing has been consistent each September or October with no gaps in the record, indicating continuous use rather than extended periods off the road. This steady, moderate usage pattern is mechanically unremarkable: it is neither the kind of very low annual mileage that can leave brake components and tyres ageing through disuse, nor high enough to suggest accelerated wear on the drivetrain and suspension. The perished rear tyres noted in 2021 are consistent with tyres ageing on the car rather than wearing out through mileage. For a prospective buyer, the tyre history warrants a physical check of all four corners. Confirm the current tyres have even tread depth across the full width, no cracking in the sidewalls or tread grooves, and matching or compatible brands across each axle, since the record shows tyres repeatedly being run close to the legal limit before attention. On the test drive, listen for any humming or droning that could indicate uneven wear, and check the steering holds straight without vibration through the wheel at motorway speeds. The front brake pads flagged at 5mm in 2023 should also be verified: ask whether they were replaced, and on the drive feel for any judder through the pedal or steering under braking, any pulling to one side, or squealing, which would point to worn discs or a binding caliper. Beyond these consumables, the record gives no cause for concern on the suspension, exhaust, or structure, but a general inspection underneath for corrosion is still sensible on an eleven-year-old car, as MOT passes alone cannot confirm overall mechanical condition.
