2013 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · EY13 STX

The vehicle currently presents a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 13 November 2024 at 120,278 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests that any minor issues identified by the tester were rectified immediately to meet minimum safety standards. The history of clean pass records thereafter indicates that the vehicle maintains its mechanical integrity despite the occasional re-test failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,250 miles per year. Between the November 2022 test at 101,983 miles and the November 2023 test at 109,393 miles, the car covered 7,590 miles. The subsequent interval saw 10,885 miles covered before the November 2024 test. This steady usage suggests regular road use rather than long periods of standing, which often leads to the degradation of rubber seals and brake fluid chemistry. While the digital record shows no recurring mechanical advisories, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of the components most likely to wear at this mileage threshold. Focus on the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs for signs of perished rubber or corrosion, as these often fail without immediate notice. Given the age, checking the chassis for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches is essential, as the MOT tester only flags surface rust once it compromises structural integrity. Examine the brake discs for deep pitting or uneven wear to ensure the recent pass reflects a well-maintained system.
