2020 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · FD20 CLY

This Hyundai i20 has maintained a consistent roadworthiness record over its most recent three MOT tests, all passing without defects at the August 2023, 2024, and 2025 examinations. The most recent test on 12 August 2025—just under a year ago—confirmed no issues, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a stable mechanical condition since then. However, the lack of advisories or defects across all three tests does not preclude the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection, as hidden wear or deferred maintenance could still exist. The mileage progression indicates steady usage, averaging around 9,344 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The recorded mileage at each test—31,257 in August 2023, 45,051 in August 2024, and 56,066 in August 2025—shows a consistent increase without abrupt jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity. This pattern suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than stored, which may have contributed to more even wear on components like tyres, brakes, and suspension. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise inspecting high-wear items such as the suspension bushes and coil springs for excessive play or cracking, particularly around the rear axles where binding or uneven wear often develops. The brake system—discs, calipers, and pads—should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as recurring brake issues are rarely logged in MOTs until they become severe. Additionally, a close examination of the underbody for corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and sills, is warranted, as structural integrity can degrade silently over time. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these areas have been maintained, so visual and functional checks are essential.
