HN61 ABX MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2011 Hyundai Ix20 (HN61 ABX) between May 2024 and April 2026.
The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 20 April 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (22 issues), Suspension (12 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Tyres (2 issues), Steering (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 38 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed inner edge (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed Inner edge (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.

Known faults for Hyundai ix20
Our database tracks 3 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Below Average
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.
Verify lender finance agreements, insurance write-offs, police stolen registers, and mileage rollback.

Our Verdict
Avoid this vehicle unless major repairs are confirmed. Repeated suspension, brake, and tyre issues indicate poor maintenance or underlying mechanical weaknesses.
Prioritise a full mechanical inspection of suspension components (coil springs, anti-roll bar, track rod ends) and brake systems. Check for rust corrosion on chassis parts, which may indicate exposure to UK road salt. Negotiate heavily due to high mileage and repeated failures. Verify service history for brake pad replacements and suspension repairs. Be wary of hidden body rust or water ingress, as white paint can mask corrosion.
The 1.4L petrol engine offers average fuel economy (around 35-40 mpg), but high mileage may reduce efficiency. Road tax is £145 annually (2026 rates for 1.4L petrol). Insurance group likely falls in mid-range (Group 15-20). Major repairs (brake discs, suspension parts) could cost £300-600 each. Estimated annual running cost: £1,200-£1,500 including maintenance.
Inspect coil springs for deep corrosion (common in UK climates) and check suspension joints for play. Test brake discs for warping and measure pad thickness. Examine tyres for uneven wear or damage (especially inner edges). Look for oil leaks under the engine and check brake fluid levels. Assess body panels for rust, particularly around wheel arches and sills. Verify that all lights (including position lamps and registration plate lights) function correctly.
This 2011 Hyundai IX20 has accumulated 127,611 miles with consistent MOT failures related to corrosion, brake wear, and suspension components. While the 1.4L petrol engine is reliable by design, recurring issues with coil springs, brake discs, and tyres suggest neglect or structural problems. No aggregate reliability data exists for the IX20, but this vehicle’s history raises significant concerns.
No aggregate MOT data available for the Hyundai IX20, but this vehicle’s history suggests potential issues with corrosion resistance and brake system longevity common in older compact SUVs.

Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: HYUNDAI IX20
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Track rod end wear and EPS column rattle or heaviness(Serious)
Steering is the ix20's measured weakness: Get Car Wise's MOT analysis finds track rod end ball joints wearing prematurely, with hundreds of tests recording excessive play and even serious-risk-of-detachment categories - far above the people-carrier class average. Fault File records owners reporting a rattle or knock through the electric power steering column plus heavy, inconsistent steering at parking speeds that dealers struggled to cure even with repeated rack and column replacement. It is a cheap part to fix if caught as an advisory (£100-£180 per track rod end) and an MOT failure and safety risk if not.
- CRDi EGR and DPF clogging with software power-loss(Moderate)
The diesel ix20 is the classic urban-mum MPV engine used outside its comfort zone: Fault File records flat spots and lost power under acceleration traced to EGR valve wear, sticking injectors and a DPF that never regenerates on short runs, sometimes letting fuel dilute the sump; Get Car Wise tracks the same blockage as the top diesel concern, with limp mode and expensive cleaning or replacement. RAC's owners' survey adds a distinct twist - at least one pull-away power loss was cured by dealer software, and others reported the stop-start system simply dying.
