2018 Hyundai I20 1.4L Petrol · EY18 HZC

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy state, having passed its most recent inspection just one month ago. The test on 19 May 2026 at 51,635 miles showed only an advisory for an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and on the edge. This indicates a stable maintenance trend, as the car has passed its last five annual tests without major mechanical or structural failures, despite minor consumable issues appearing. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-intensity urban use, averaging approximately 6,454 miles per year over its eight-year life. Between May 2022 at 26,749 miles and May 2026 at 51,635 miles, the vehicle covered 24,886 miles, representing a steady accumulation of roughly 6,200 miles annually. This low annual mileage suggests the engine has not been subjected to excessive long-distance motorway stress, which typically results in less wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage counterparts. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front suspension and alignment, as the edge wear on the offside front tyre noted in 2026 suggests a potential camber issue or worn tracking components. The 2022 advisory regarding perishing on all four tyres indicates the vehicle likely sat for extended periods, which can lead to rubber degradation in suspension mounts and brake hoses despite low tread depth. While the 2025 advisory for a deteriorated rear plate is a minor cosmetic concern, the lack of structural corrosion or brake binding faults across the history suggests the core integrity of the chassis remains sound.
