2013 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · FD62 OAG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a period of significant neglect followed by some reactive repairs. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 59,606 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure just months prior due to multiple mechanical and safety defects. The trend shows a shift from a clean record in 2023 to heavy deterioration in early 2025, suggesting that components were only addressed after failing inspection rather than through preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a 13-year-old, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. However, there is a conspicuous gap in records between December 2023 (35,952 miles) and January 2025 where the car covered nearly 10,000 miles in just two months. This rapid burst of activity likely exposed the extensive list of faults recorded in the January 2025 test, where the vehicle failed on fourteen separate items including suspension, steering, and braking components. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the structural integrity and underbody. The January 2025 test flagged corrosion on the front sub-frame, front suspension arms, and coil springs. Although the tester noted these were not seriously weakened at that time, the presence of rust on the fuel tank filler hose clip and suspension mounts indicates an environment prone to rapid oxidation. The minor oil leak at the back of the engine noted in late 2025 should also be monitored to ensure it does not escalate into a significant failure. Specific attention should be paid to the steering and suspension assembly. The history shows issues with ball joint dust covers, track rod end boots, and worn front brake discs. While these appear to be addressed following the final pass, the presence of a cracking nearside rear tyre in the December 2025 test suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for long periods, leading to rubber degradation despite the low overall mileage.
