2017 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · K4 YVH

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test on 4 September 2025 at 8,479 miles resulted in a pass, though it introduced an advisory regarding a nearside rear tyre showing cracking or perishing on the inner tread. This is the only defect noted in several years, suggesting the vehicle has generally avoided significant mechanical or structural failures during annual inspections. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 942 miles per year. Between September 2021 and September 2025, the car covered only 1,396 miles, moving from 7,083 to 8,479 miles. This consistent low usage suggests the car has been parked or used sparingly for long periods. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long-term inactivity often leads to age-related degradation that mileage figures do not reflect. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on rubber components and fluids that suffer when sitting while stationary. The 2025 advisory regarding tyre perishing indicates that the rubber compound is failing due to age rather than remaining tread depth. Inspect the sidewalls, suspension bushes, and wiper blades for cracking, as these materials become brittle without regular use. Additionally, check the brake discs for corrosion or seized calipers, as low-mileage vehicles often develop surface rust or pitting if the brakes are not frequently used to clear the metal away.
