2021 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · EY70 VZW

The most recent MOT from November 2025 shows a pass, but two advisories for worn front suspension arm bushes mark a clear shift from earlier clean records. This suggests the maintenance trend is stable but now showing early signs of component fatigue. The car appears roadworthy but carries developing issues that require monitoring. With 38,067 miles recorded over five years, the annual average of 7,613 miles is typical. Yet the mileage pattern reveals a notable shift. Between January 2024 at 20,596 miles and November 2024 at 26,586 miles, the car covered 5,990 miles in ten months. Then from November 2024 to November 2025, mileage jumped from 26,586 to 38,067, an increase of 11,481 miles in twelve months. This heavier recent use likely accelerated wear on the suspension and brakes. A prospective buyer should inspect the front suspension bushes, as these will require replacement in the near future. The 2024 failure highlighted worn front brake discs and fluctuating front service brakes, issues that may resurface even though the latest test passed. Check for brake judder under hard stops. The battery insecurity and nail in the tyre appearing twice suggest basic upkeep was occasionally skipped. No structural corrosion is noted, which is positive for a five-year-old car.
