2009 Hyundai I20 1.4L Petrol · LD59 ULK

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent test in August 2025 at 58,165 miles. While the history shows minor failures in previous years, the issues were limited to basic consumables and lighting bulbs rather than mechanical or structural failures. The trend indicates an owner who is reactive to MOT results, as the faults identified in 2023 and 2024 were rectified immediately to secure subsequent passes. The mileage profile is notably low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,400 miles per year. Data shows a gap of 987 miles between November 2023 and August 2024, followed by an additional 5,156 miles over the following twelve months. This consistent low-mileage usage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but long periods of standing or low-speed use can cause rubber-based components to perish or degrade due to age rather than mileage-related friction. A buyer should physically inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking, as the 2023 failure specifically flagged perishing on the nearside front tyre. Given the low mileage and age, the inspection must focus on the condition of the suspension bushes and brake lines, which often become brittle on vehicles that are not driven frequently. The windscreen washer system should also be checked for leaks or blockages, as this appeared as a recurring failure in two separate tests, suggesting a persistent minor fault in the pump or reservoir.
