2018 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · FD67 OVC

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift from basic consumable wear to early-stage mechanical component degradation. The most recent test in February 2026 at 61,393 miles identified worn bushes on both front suspension arm pins and a rear arm bush, alongside a failed nearside day time running lamp. While the car passed, the appearance of multiple suspension defects indicates that the vehicle is entering a phase where rubber components will require replacement to maintain handling precision. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use urban vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. Between the 2022 test at 25,316 miles and the February 2026 test at 61,393 miles, the car covered 36,077 miles, representing a steady usage profile. The 2025 inspection at 48,675 miles was notably clean with no recorded defects, suggesting a period of good maintenance before the recent suspension issues were flagged in the latest MOT record. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension for any clunking noises over uneven surfaces, given the recurring rubber-related faults noted in 2026. The history shows a clear pattern of neglecting tyres, with perishing and edge wear recorded between 2022 and 2024, which suggests previous owners often waited until a component reached the legal limit before replacing it. Verify the current tyre set for sidew cracking and ensure the day time running lamp has actually been replaced, as these were the most recent points of failure.
