AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 19 February 2026 at 86,577 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the preceding three years, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that prevents the accumulation of common wear-and-tear failures. The mileage is typical for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,658 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained steady, with a notable increase of 6,181 miles between February 2023 and February 2024, followed by a more moderate rise of 5,742 miles by February 2025. The recording of 86,577 miles in the latest February 2026 test shows a consistent usage pattern without any evidence of prolonged standing or sudden, excessive mileage spikes. The record is unusually devoid of advisories, which is rare for a vehicle of this age. While the February 2024 test shows an initial failure on 16 February followed by a pass on 21 February at 78,371 miles, the lack of listed defects suggests the failure was likely due to a minor administrative error or a trivial item rectified immediately. There are no recurring mentions of suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust leaks. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the underbody for structural corrosion, as MOT testers often overlook minor surface rust that does not yet compromise integrity. Given the lack of flagged brake or tyre issues in the history, checking the remaining tread depth and the condition of the brake pads will confirm if the previous owner adhered to a preventative maintenance schedule or simply replaced parts just before the annual test.

Our Verdict

A practical and consistent choice for th

Focus your attention on the braking system; the February 2026 MOT explicitly mentions that both rear brake discs are worn, pitted, or scored. This is a clear point for price negotiation as they will likely require replacement soon. You should also verify that the nearside front washer is now fully operational, as it was noted as inoperative during the last test.

Ensure the service history is present and documented, particularly for the 1396cc petrol engine. While the MOT record is consistent, it does not provide a full picture of mechanical maintenance, so check for evidence of regular oil and filter changes to match the 86,000+ mileage.

The 1.4L petrol engine is designed for urban efficiency and ease of maintenance. You can expect moderate fuel economy typical of small petrol MPVs of this era, with insurance costs generally falling into a mid-range group.

Annual costs will include the standard VED tax for a 2016 petrol vehicle and routine servicing. Given the current MOT advisories regarding brake discs, budget for an immediate maintenance spend on the rear braking system to ensure continued safety.

Prioritise an inspection of the rear brake discs to assess the extent of the pitting and scoring mentioned in the 2026 MOT. Check the condition of all four tyres, keeping in mind a previous 2023 advisory for a worn offside front tyre, to ensure they have been replaced and are wearing evenly.

Test the windscreen washer system thoroughly, including both the offside and nearside jets, following the failure recorded in February 2024 and the advisory in February 2026. Finally, check the general condition of the black paintwork for any age-related fading or scratches.

This black 2016 Hyundai ix20 has recorded 86,577 miles. Its MOT history shows a consistent testing pattern with only one failure in 2024 due to windscreen washer issues. The most recent test in February 2026 passed but noted wear on the rear brake discs.

Specific aggregate reliability data for the Hyundai ix20 is unavailable, but this individual vehicle has a consistent record of passing its MOTs.
