2017 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · EY17 ACF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-28 at 47,064 miles recorded a PASS with no defects, indicating stable roadworthiness. Previous tests from 2024-05-03 show a PASS and a FAIL on the same date and mileage, which is anomalous but suggests no critical issues were flagged. The absence of defects in all PASS results since 2023-03-23 implies consistent maintenance, though the 2024-05-03 FAIL without recorded faults raises questions about testing accuracy or minor non-compliances. Overall, the trend shows no worsening issues, but the lack of recent inspections beyond 2025-05-28 means current conditions remain unverified. The vehicle’s mileage of 47,064 miles over nine years equates to approximately 5,229 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage could indicate infrequent operation or periods of inactivity, which might affect components like the battery, fluids, and seals. The MOT records show no gaps in testing between 2022-03-18 and 2025-05-28, suggesting regular compliance, though the 2024-05-03 dual PASS/FAIL entry lacks clarity. The sparse defect history implies minimal wear on major systems, but the low mileage may mask hidden issues from prolonged storage. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, common in older vehicles, and check for corrosion in underbody areas due to potential moisture exposure. The absence of brake-related defects in MOTs is positive, but a physical check of brake discs and calipers is advised. Given the low mileage, verifying the condition of the engine’s timing components and electrical systems—such as the alternator and battery—would be prudent, as these can degrade without regular use. The vehicle’s maintenance history shows no red flags, but its age and usage pattern warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
