2021 Hyundai I20 SE Connect Mhev T-GDI 1.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · FG21 BVZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test, conducted on 12 April 2025 at 49,908 miles, resulted in an unusual dual entry—both a pass and a fail recorded simultaneously with no defects noted. This anomaly suggests either a technical error in the DVSA system or a rare administrative oversight, but it does not indicate mechanical failure. The preceding test, on 2 April 2024 at 38,116 miles, passed without issues, confirming a stable roadworthiness trend over the past year. No recurring advisories or defects appear in the available history, though the lack of intermediate tests means there is no data to assess wear patterns between these intervals. The vehicle’s last MOT is now nearly 16 months old, which exceeds the standard 12-month renewal period, raising immediate concern about whether the car has undergone any maintenance or inspections since then. The recorded mileage of 49,908 miles at the time of the 2025 test reflects an average of approximately 9,982 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There is a notable gap of 11,792 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, suggesting either extended low-use periods or a lack of regular driving. This could imply deferred maintenance, particularly for components sensitive to prolonged inactivity, such as suspension bushes, brake fluid condition, or battery health. Without intermediate service records, it is impossible to confirm whether critical items like timing belt tensioners (if applicable), fuel system filters, or differential fluid have been renewed as per manufacturer schedules. Given the sparse MOT history and the extended time since the last test, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear items that are not routinely covered by MOT testing. Focus on the suspension system—particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—for signs of uneven wear or corrosion, as these are not always captured in a basic roadworthiness check. The braking system warrants thorough examination, including disc thickness, caliper binding, and master cylinder condition, since brake performance degrades gradually and may not have been tested since April 2024. Structural integrity should also be assessed, especially around wheel arches, sills, and underbody, for corrosion that could compromise safety. Finally, verify the integrity of the MHEV hybrid components, such as high-voltage battery connections and cooling systems, as these are not routinely inspected during standard MOTs and can pose significant risks if neglected.
