2019 Hyundai IX20 1.6L Petrol · GH19 DMX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent MOT test on 15 April 2026 at 15,149 miles saw the car pass after a failure for perished tyres and a non-functional windscreen washer. While the immediate faults have been rectified, the recurring nature of rubber-related failures suggests that components are only addressed when they reach the point of legal failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,164 miles per year. This low usage is evident in the significant gaps between tests, such as the 759 miles covered between June 2024 and May 2025. However, such low mileage often leads to accelerated degradation of components that do not move frequently. The record of tyre sidewall cracking in both 2025 and 2026 confirms that the rubber is suffering from dry rot and age despite the low distance travelled. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system, specifically regarding the June 2024 failure where a nearside front brake pipe was grounded against the driveshaft. This mechanical interference indicates a potential issue with component routing or suspension movement that could lead to further fractures if not properly secured. Additionally, the buyer should verify the condition of all tyres for deep cracking, as the history shows a clear trend of perishing rubber due to low use. The windscreen washer pump and other fluid systems should also be tested to ensure the recent failure points have been fully resolved.
