2010 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · ET59 EYH

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs regarding consumable items. The most recent test in July 2025 at 67,338 miles resulted in a pass despite the nearside rear outer tyre reaching the legal limit of 1.6mm. This follows a consistent multi-year pattern where components are only addressed once they approach or reach failure thresholds rather than as part of a preventative service schedule. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 67,338 miles is significantly low, averaging just over 4,200 miles per annum. The data shows a notable gap in usage between August 2021 and August 2022, where the car covered only 14,007 miles in a year. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often leads to the accelerated degradation of rubber components and seals. The steady accumulation of roughly 4,000 miles annually between 2022 and 2025 suggests light vehicle use consistent with its low mileage profile. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension assembly, as the 2024 test flagged both front shock absorbers for light misting of oil. While not an immediate failure, misting indicates seals beginning to perish which will eventually lead to hydraulic loss. The 2024 record also noted pitted and scored front brake discs, which is common on vehicles that sit idle for long periods or undergo short-distance urban driving. Given the recurring advisories for tyres worn on the edges across multiple years, a professional check of the wheel alignment is necessary to ensure that a geometry issue is not causing premature tyre wear.
