2009 Hyundai I20 1.4L Petrol · KV59 AVG

The vehicle currently stands in good roadworthiness, but the maintenance history indicates a clear trend of worsening condition rather than stability. The most recent test on 2025-12-17 at 87,890 miles was a PASSED test, yet the previous two tests on 2024-12-17 and 2023-11-20 failed at lower mileage levels (80,549 and 78,492 miles respectively). This pattern suggests that the vehicle has been under significant stress over the last two years, likely due to accelerated wear on critical components such as suspension and braking systems, which are the primary causes of MOT failure in older models. The mileage accumulation is substantial, averaging approximately 5,170 miles per year, which is consistent with the vehicle's 17-year age. While the total mileage is low relative to the vehicle's age, the discrepancy between the recent PASSED test and the two prior FAILS indicates that the vehicle has not maintained its mechanical integrity. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests, where the vehicle failed at 80,549 miles, suggests that the suspension and braking components may have degraded, potentially affecting handling and stopping distances, particularly in adverse weather conditions. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person for binding brakes, worn suspension bushes, and structural rust. Given the history of two failures, the likelihood of these issues being recurring is high, warranting a thorough check of the brake disc condition and suspension bushings. If the brakes show any signs of binding or if the suspension exhibits excessive play, the vehicle may be unsafe for road use and requires immediate professional diagnosis to prevent further damage.
