2013 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · GP62 FVS

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend following an initial failure. The most recent test conducted on 9 September 2025 at 47,894 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a series of clean passes in early 2025 and throughout 2024, indicating that the mechanical and safety components have remained within DVSA standards consistently over the last two years of operation. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,684 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap in usage between 22 January 2024 (47,122 miles) and 6 March 2025 (47,167 miles), where only 45 miles were covered over fourteen months. This suggests the car sat stationary for long periods during this interval. While low mileage generally preserves the engine and drivetrain, long-term periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber seals, fluid acidity, and brake component corrosion. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related failure rather than mileage. Although the MOT history shows no recurring faults, the low usage warrants a close check for flat spots on the tyres and seized brake calipers caused by lack of disuse. Inspect the suspension bushes and structural integrity for early signs of surface rust, particularly around the sills and wheel arches, as moisture can collect when a vehicle is stationary. The failure in January 2023 at 45,303 miles was resolved immediately, as the subsequent clean records confirm the owner addressed the necessary issues to maintain compliance.
