2017 Hyundai I20 1.0L Petrol · KS66 VPD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 2 May 2026 at 42,229 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improvement following a significant failure in May 2025. While the May 2025 test revealed multiple mechanical and trim issues, these appear to have been addressed promptly, as the clean sheet from the May 2026 test indicates that the previous owner was willing to rectify faults to bring the car back to legal standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage over time, moving from 28,419 miles in May 2023 to 42,229 miles in May 2026. This low frequency of operation generally suggests less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine components. However, low-mileage vehicles can suffer from age-related degradation of rubber components or corrosion on braking surfaces if the car sits stationary for long periods between uses. A buyer should focus inspection on the braking system, as the record indicates a history of wear. The May 2024 test flagged worn front brake discs, and the May 2025 failure identified an offside rear brake pad below the 1.5mm limit alongside a pitted and burnt disc. Although these were likely replaced, a physical inspection should verify the remaining thickness of the pads and the condition of the calipers to ensure no binding or uneven wear persists. Additionally, since the offside front windscreen wiper blade and side repeater lens failed in 2025, these should be checked for proper fit to ensure they were not replaced with poor-quality parts.
