2020 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · EX70 ORZ

The most recent MOT on 19 August 2025 recorded a failure at 32,397 miles, with the tester flagging a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system and light cracking on all four tyre sidewalls. This moves the vehicle from a previously clean record to a non‑pass status, indicating a deteriorating maintenance trend. Mileage has risen from 17,652 miles on 15 August 2023 to 26,431 miles on 13 August 2024, an increase of 8,779 miles in twelve months, then to 32,397 miles by August 2025, adding 5,966 miles. The average of roughly 5,400 miles per year is low for a six‑year‑old model, but the 2023‑24 interval shows a relatively high annual run‑off, suggesting a period of more intensive use followed by a slower pace. No gaps in testing are evident; each year the car has been MOT‑tested. A prospective buyer should examine the tyre condition closely, confirming whether sidewall cracking is superficial or indicative of deeper ply damage, and verify that the TPMS sensor operates correctly. While the record contains no brake or suspension advisories, worn tyres can place additional load on suspension bushes and coil springs, so a visual and functional check of front and rear suspension components is prudent. Inspect the under‑carriage for corrosion or structural rust, particularly around the chassis rails, to ensure no hidden damage has arisen during the higher‑usage year. Addressing the tyre and TPMS issues will be necessary before the vehicle can be considered road‑worthy.
