2014 Hyundai IX20 1.6L Petrol · GL64 DBY

The Hyundai ix20 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a notably clean MOT pass on 8 December 2025 at 69,842 miles with zero defects. This represents a marked turnaround from the preceding tests, where tyre deterioration and minor windscreen damage were recurring themes. The absence of any advisories or failures in the most recent inspection suggests the owner addressed the persistent tyre and windscreen issues promptly, resulting in a mechanically sound vehicle at its current recorded mileage. The mileage pattern reveals a low annual accumulation of roughly 5,820 miles over its twelve-year lifespan, consistent with light, local use. A notable gap appears between the December 2024 test at 66,537 miles and the December 2025 test at 69,842 miles, indicating a sudden increase of 3,305 miles in the final year after several years of more modest gains. Prior to that, the annual increments were steady but modest, averaging around 5,000 to 5,800 miles per year between 2021 and 2024. The record is complete with no missing entries, giving a reliable picture of the vehicle's gradual accumulation. Despite the clean recent result, the recurring tyre defects flagged between 2021 and 2023 warrant careful physical inspection. Multiple advisories for perished, cracked, and edge-worn tyres across all four wheels suggest the vehicle may have spent extended periods stationary, causing sidewall degradation unevenly. A buyer should closely examine the current tyre date codes, sidewall condition, and tread depth, particularly at the inner and outer edges. The repeated windscreen damage noted from 2021 through 2023, though always assessed as not affecting the driver's view, should also be inspected for any progressive cracking or delamination around the swept area. The offside side repeater lens defect, appearing in three consecutive tests between 2022 and 2024 before disappearing in 2025, likely received a replacement unit, but the surrounding panel should be checked for water ingress or corrosion. Given the low mileage and absence of structural, suspension, or braking defects throughout the entire record, the underlying mechanical condition appears sound. The tyre and windscreen issues are consumable and cosmetic in nature rather than indicative of neglect or structural compromise. A prospective buyer should still verify the condition of suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust components in person, as low-mileage vehicles that stand for long periods can develop seized or deteriorated components not always visible in MOT data. The clean December 2025 pass, however, provides strong evidence that this example has been properly maintained and is currently in good roadworthy order.
