Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution. While the
Priority should be given to the braking system. The MOT history records corrosion on brake pipes at all four corners of the vehicle, which is a known weak point for this model. You should negotiate the price downwards to account for the inevitable replacement of these pipes and the worn brake discs and tyres mentioned in the May 2026 report.
Verify the service history specifically for any evidence of oil leak repairs, as a 'slight engine oil leak' was noted in the most recent test. Ensure that the brake efficiency issues recorded in 2025 and 2026 have been fully resolved rather than just temporarily patched for the test.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for efficiency and typically falls into a low insurance group, making it affordable for new drivers. However, the maintenance costs for this specific vehicle are likely to be higher than average in the short term due to the pending suspension and brake work.
Annual costs will include fuel, road tax, and insurance, alongside the necessary repairs to address the corrosion and wear noted in the MOT history. Given the age and mileage, a budget for preventative maintenance is essential.
Focus your inspection on the underbody. Specifically, check the brake pipes at the nearside and offside front and rear, as the MOT record explicitly mentions corrosion and the use of grease to cover it. Inspect the offside front suspension arm ball joint and the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage for play.
Check the engine bay for signs of the recorded oil leak and ensure the battery is now securely fastened. Finally, examine the offside rear tyre, which was recorded as being close to the legal limit in May 2026.
This 2013 black Hyundai i20 has covered 109,496 miles, which is considerably higher than the model average. The MOT history shows a pattern of brake-related failures, including a failure in May 2026 for brake efficiency and emissions. Although it passed its most recent test, it did so with a long list of advisories concerning corrosion and mechanical play.
The i20 is generally reliable with an 80.7% aggregate pass rate, though brake pipe corrosion is identified as a top failure reason across the model range.
