2018 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · EO68 MFF

The vehicle presents a consistent maintenance record over the last five years, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift in the condition of consumables. In the September 2025 test at 75,966 miles, the tester flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as being worn to the legal limit of 3mm. This represents a departure from the previous four years of testing where no tyre-related defects were recorded. The fact that both front tyres reached the limit simultaneously suggests they are nearing the end of their life cycle under uniform wear, requiring immediate replacement to maintain safety and legal compliance. The mileage progression is remarkably stable, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for an eight-year-old hatchback. Between the 2021 test at 45,834 miles and the 2025 test at 75,966 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 30,000 miles. This steady interval suggests the car has not been subjected to long periods of stationary which often leads to brake caliper corrosion or seal degradation. The lack of any recorded defects in the 2022, 2023, and 2024 tests indicates that the previous owners maintained the structural integrity and primary mechanical components well during that period. While the MOT history is clean of serious mechanical failures or structural rust, the buyer should focus on the front suspension and braking during a physical inspection. Since the front tyres are at the limit, it is prudent to check for uneven wear patterns that might indicate alignment issues or worn control arm-bushings. There are no recorded advisories for binding calipers or exhaust leaks in the history, which is a positive indicator of the overall health of the drivetrain. The data suggests a vehicle that has been used regularly where the core mechanical components have remained functioning within acceptable parameters until the most recent tyre-related failure.
