2014 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · LD14 PHV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a consistent pass record over the last four years. The most recent test on October 20 2025 at 60,155 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests a specific issue was identified and rectified immediately prior to the retest, as the lack of advisories in the final result indicates the mechanical and structural components currently meet minimum legal standards. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. Between October 2022 at 51,863 miles and November 2024 at 57,351 miles, the car covered only 5,488 miles, indicating infrequent use. Such low mileage generally protects the drivetrain and engine components from high-mileage wear and tear. However, low mileage can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or corrosion on brake surfaces if the vehicle has sat stationary without being driven regularly over long distances. Given the clean history of recurring mechanical advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage use, specifically checking for perished suspension bushes or split tyres. Inspect the brake discs for surface pitting or seized calipers, as infrequent use often leads to uneven braking performance. While the MOT record shows no structural integrity issues or exhaust emission failures, the underbody should be checked for surface corrosion to ensure that the low usage has not masked hidden rust in a damp environment.
