2015 Hyundai I20 1.4L Petrol · FN65 HXZ

The 2015 Hyundai i20 presents a stable and highly favourable maintenance trend, evidenced by a flawless pass record in recent years. The most recent MOT on 23 September 2025 at 35,828 miles recorded zero defects, confirming the vehicle currently meets all required safety and environmental standards. This clean bill of health indicates diligent upkeep and the absence of any developing mechanical or structural faults at the time of the last inspection. At eleven years old, the recorded mileage equates to an average annual accumulation of roughly 3,257 miles, which is exceptionally low. The chronological data reveals a remarkably consistent usage pattern rather than long periods of dormancy. Between 23 August 2022 at 24,485 miles and 7 September 2023 at 28,338 miles, the car covered 3,853 miles, maintaining a steady pace that continued through the 2024 test at 32,218 miles. The 2023 test history shows an anomaly: a failed test on 4 September 2023 at 28,288 miles with no recorded defects, followed immediately by a clean pass on 7 September 2023 at 28,338 miles. This suggests an administrative error, an aborted test, or a rectified minor issue that left no formal defect trace. Despite the pristine MOT record, a low-mileage vehicle of this age requires careful physical inspection to verify the condition of perishable components. Tyres and rubber suspension bushes often perish from age and lack of use rather than wear, so check for sidewall cracking and perished bushes. The brake discs and calipers demand close scrutiny; infrequent use can cause surface corrosion on the discs and seize sliding pins on the calipers, which might not trigger a failure during a brief MOT but will compromise braking efficiency. Examine the exhaust system and underbody for structural rust, as short trips prevent moisture from evaporating, accelerating corrosion. Investigate the cause of the 2023 failed test to ensure no underlying issue was simply retested without proper repair.
