2012 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · FJ62 VUB

The Hyundai i20 presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 30 January 2026 at 103,797 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the last three years. The DVSA record shows no advisories or defects at any stage, and the latest test cleared the car cleanly one day after a failed attempt logged on 29 January 2026 at identical mileage with no defects recorded, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage sat at 94,309 in the January 2024 pass, rose to 98,959 by January 2025, and reached 103,797 by January 2026. That equates to roughly 4,500 miles per year over the recorded span, below the 7,414 annual average for a 2012 car of this type. The sparse history shows three passes and two same-day failures, all with zero defects noted, so the data gives no evidence of rapid accumulation or neglected consumable wear. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, given the vehicle's fourteen-year age and the absence of any recorded advisories that might otherwise reveal creeping wear. The two failure entries with no defects suggest the previous owner may have presented the car without correct documentation or lighting checks, so verify V5C and test certificate authenticity before purchase. Structural integrity cannot be confirmed from a clean MOT alone on a car exposed to fourteen UK winters. Examine sills, subframes and suspension mounts for corrosion, and confirm tyre tread and exhaust emissions match the claimed unmarked condition.
