2018 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · FV18 DZT

The 2018 Hyundai I20 presents a stable and largely reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 2 June 2026 at 58,346 miles. The only recorded defect across the entire history is a minor inoperative offside registration plate lamp noted in the most recent test, which is a trivial electrical item rather than a mechanical or structural concern. The vehicle has passed every single MOT on record, with no failures, and the advisory pattern is exceptionally sparse, suggesting consistent basic upkeep by its keepers. The mileage accumulation is remarkably linear and typical for a vehicle of this age. Between the June 2022 test at 37,362 miles and the June 2025 test at 54,699 miles, the car covered 17,337 miles over three years, averaging roughly 5,779 miles annually. The final jump from June 2025 to February 2026 added just 3,647 miles in under eight months, indicating a recent reduction in use. There are no suspicious gaps in the test record, with annual or near-annual tests logged consistently from 2022 onward, and the odometer readings progress logically with no evidence of rollback. The only recurring theme in the defect history is a single advisory for perished and slightly damaged rear tyres noted in the June 2024 test at 50,054 miles. This was not flagged in subsequent tests, so it appears to have been addressed, but it does confirm that at least one previous owner allowed tyre condition to deteriorate to the point of advisory. A buyer should still inspect both rear tyres carefully, checking sidewall condition, tread depth, and date codes, as well as the fronts for uneven wear that could hint at alignment or suspension bush wear. Given the car's age and the clean MOT record, there is no evidence of structural corrosion, brake defects, exhaust emissions failures, or suspension component deterioration. A brief inspection of brake discs and pads, coil springs, and the underside for surface rust or impact damage would be prudent, but the documented record suggests this i20 has been maintained to a competent standard throughout its life.
