2011 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · EX61 YHS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 91,190 miles resulted in a failure due to an excessively worn nearside front suspension arm ball joint and a corroded offside rear brake pipe. While the car passed after these repairs, the presence of these mechanical faults suggests that components are only addressed once they reach the point of legal failure. At 91,190 miles, this 2011 Hyundai i20 has averaged approximately 6,000 miles per year, which aligns with low-use patterns for its age. The mileage progression shows consistent annual use, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between August 2024 and September 2025, and another 6,000 miles in the preceding year. This steady rate is typical, though the age of the vehicle increases the risk of material degradation in rubber components and metalwork despite the lower mileage. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry, as the record shows recurring issues with ball joints and anti-roll bar linkages between the 2024 and 2025 tests. The corrosion on the offside rear brake pipe noted in 2025 requires a close visual inspection to ensure the replacement was thorough and not merely cleaned or painted over. Additionally, the 2023 advisories regarding inner edge tyre wear indicate a past history of alignment issues that should be verified to prevent premature degradation of new tyres.
