2020 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · EX70 ORN

The 2020 Hyundai I20 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 30 August 2025 at 41,568 miles with zero defects recorded. That result marks a clear step up from the two preceding tests, both of which carried advisories. The trajectory suggests the most recent keeper addressed the flagged items promptly, leaving the car in its best recorded mechanical condition at the point of the latest test. The mileage profile is unremarkable in a good way. The car has covered roughly 6,900 miles per year since new, which is typical for a supermini of this age. The annual test intervals, each spaced almost exactly twelve months apart, show consistent use rather than long periods of dormancy or sudden high-mileage runs. The 7,675-mile jump between the August 2024 and August 2025 tests is slightly above the yearly average but well within normal variation and does not raise concerns about neglect or excessive wear. The advisory history is minor but worth understanding. In August 2024 at 33,893 miles, both front tyres were noted at 3mm tread depth with cracking in the tread blocks. That combination points to aged rubber and borderline legal tread, not a sudden puncture or alignment failure. The fact that no tyre defects appeared in the 2025 test confirms they were replaced, which is responsible ownership. The August 2023 advisory at 26,723 miles for low engine oil is a simple top-up issue rather than a mechanical fault, though it does hint that oil levels may not have been checked regularly between services. A buyer should still carry out a focused physical inspection despite the clean 2025 result. Check the sidewalls of all four tyres for fresh cracking or uneven wear, confirming the replacements are holding up. Inspect the front suspension bushes and drop links for play, as the original tyre wear pattern could reflect subtle alignment or suspension issues. Examine the brake discs and pads for even wear and scoring, and verify the exhaust system for corrosion given the car is now over six years old. A short test drive under light braking will confirm no binding or pulling, particularly at the front axle where the tyre wear was concentrated.
