Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the i20 is a
Focus your attention on the braking system. This vehicle has failed MOTs in both 2024 and 2026 due to worn or pitted brake discs and insufficient parking brake efficiency. You should verify if these components were fully replaced or merely adjusted, as the 2026 pass noted the parking brake efficiency 'only just met' the requirement.
Check the service records for any evidence of suspension work. The MOT history shows a progression of issues with the anti-roll bar linkage and suspension arm ball joint dust covers between 2025 and 2026. Given the sub-frame corrosion advisory from March 2025, a professional inspection of the chassis is essential to ensure the rust has not worsened.
The 1.2L petrol engine is economical, making it a cost-effective choice for urban commuting. It typically falls into a lower insurance group and a modest tax band, keeping fixed annual costs manageable.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally predictable, though this specific car's history suggests a higher-than-average requirement for brake and suspension upkeep. Expect typical servicing costs for a vehicle of this age and mileage.
Prioritise an inspection of the braking system, specifically looking for pitting or scoring on both the front and rear discs, as these were cited in multiple MOT failures. Test the parking brake thoroughly to ensure it holds firmly on an incline, given the recorded efficiency issues.
Carefully inspect the front sub-frame for rust and corrosion, referencing the March 2025 advisory. Additionally, check the condition of the suspension arm ball joint dust covers and the anti-roll bar joints, which were points of failure or concern in the most recent MOT tests.
This red 2014 Hyundai i20 has recorded 89,831 miles, which is slightly above the model average. Its MOT history reveals failures in 2024 and 2026, with recurring themes around brake disc wear and parking brake efficiency. A 2025 advisory regarding sub-frame corrosion indicates a need for a thorough underbody check.
The Hyundai i20 has a generally positive reliability reputation, supported by an average MOT pass rate of 80.7% across over 127,000 vehicles.
