2012 Hyundai IX20 1.6L Petrol · FP12 AUO

The Hyundai IX20 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 February 2026 at 52,911 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run that began after the 2024 anomaly. The recorded mileage of 52,911 against a 2012 build date equates to roughly 3,779 miles per year, confirming very light use for its age. The test on 15 June 2023 at 46,683 miles and the 14 June 2024 pass at 49,926 miles show gentle annual accumulation of about 3,200 miles. A duplicate entry on 14 June 2024 shows a fail at 49,925 miles with no defects listed, almost certainly a DVSA administrative reversal corrected the same day rather than a genuine mechanical fault. The 28 February 2025 pass at 52,320 miles and the February 2026 pass confirm the low-mileage pattern held with no advisories on consumables or structure. The absence of recorded advisories across all tests suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current and the car avoided standing-period neglect such as seized brake calipers or perished suspension bushes. Low annual mileage typically spares drivetrain components but can mask corrosion if the vehicle sat unused in damp conditions. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody structural integrity, brake disc condition, and suspension mounting points given the car's fourteen years. The clean MOT trail offers no red flags, yet age-related rust and degraded rubber components remain outside the test's scope and warrant verification before purchase.
