2016 Hyundai I20 1.0L Petrol · KS66 NHB

The Hyundai i20 presents a solid, stable maintenance record with no serious mechanical or structural defects. The most recent MOT, conducted on 12 March 2026 at 62,201 miles, passed cleanly with zero advisories or failures. This clean result, following a similarly clean pass in February 2024 at 51,331 miles, indicates the vehicle has been in well-kept condition through its recent life. The only notable blemish in the entire history was a March 2025 headlamp aim failure on the same day as a clean pass, suggesting the aim was corrected and retested within hours rather than left unresolved. The mileage progression is consistent and unremarkable. The car covered roughly 6,220 miles per year on average, rising from 47,087 miles in February 2023 to 62,201 miles by March 2026. That is a steady, low-mileage accumulation typical of short urban or suburban journeys rather than long motorway runs. No sudden jumps or suspicious gaps appear between test dates, and the record shows no evidence of the car sitting unused for extended periods. The annual testing pattern has been maintained without interruption since at least 2023. The sole recurring area of concern is headlamp aim. The March 2025 failure flagged both an offside lamp aimed too low and a nearside lamp aimed too high, a pattern that can point to uneven suspension sag, a worn rear spring, or simply a botched bulb replacement. The subsequent clean pass confirms the issue was addressed, but a prospective buyer should still inspect the headlamp aim on a beam setter and check the condition of both rear coil springs and suspension bushes for uneven wear. Beyond that, the windscreen advisory from February 2023 at 47,087 miles was minor, limited to a chip outside the driver's line of sight, and the clean 2026 result suggests no further deterioration. With no structural corrosion, brake defects, exhaust failures, or emissions issues ever recorded, this i20's MOT history is as clean as any ten-year-old example is likely to show. A buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection of the tyre condition, brake disc thickness, and suspension components, as these consumable items are not individually itemised in the MOT record and will reflect how the car has been driven and maintained between tests.
