2009 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · GV59 ACF

The Hyundai i20 presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 2 October 2025 at 92,814 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with three consecutive annual passes across 2023 to 2025 and no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The vehicle shows a clean test history with no recurring defects, indicating consistent compliance with statutory roadworthiness standards. The recorded mileage of 92,814 at the 2025 test equates to roughly 5,460 miles per year against the car's 2009 build date, a low figure for a 17-year-old vehicle. Annual increments are minimal: 90,315 miles in October 2023, 91,428 in October 2024, and 92,814 by October 2025, reflecting light yearly use of around 1,200 to 1,500 miles. Two failed tests on 1 October 2024 and 2 October 2025 were logged at identical mileages to the subsequent passes on the same dates, with no defects recorded, which points to administrative or documentation issues rather than mechanical failure. Low mileage combined with the clean MOT record suggests the previous owner limited use and kept basic statutory compliance in order, though extended standing periods can conceal intermittent faults. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related perishing, as 17 years of service invites rubber degradation regardless of low miles. Corrosion on structural members and underbody components warrants close examination given the vehicle's age, even though the tester raised no advisories. Verify the exhaust emissions system and check for binding calipers through a road test, since light use can allow brake components to seize without triggering an MOT defect.
