2018 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · LF68 MXW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 1 September 2025 at 8,223 miles. The maintenance trend appears generally stable despite a significant mechanical failure just two weeks prior. The failure on 18 August 2025 at 8,207 miles resulted from an inoperative engine management indicator light, which is a critical safety and emissions compliance failure. The subsequent pass indicates that the owner addressed and rectified this electronic fault before the re-test. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,028 miles per year. Between August 2022 and August 2025, the car covered only 4,716 miles, suggesting very infrequent use or long periods of storage. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, it often leads to secondary issues such as flat spotted tyres or seized brake calipers. The accumulation of 1,726 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows a consistent but low-usage pattern. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the electrical system to ensure the engine management light was not merely cleared but properly repaired. Because the vehicle sits for long periods, check the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the calipers are not binding. Inspect the rubber components in the suspension and the engine mounts for cracking, as these materials can degrade over time regardless of low mileage. The absence of any structural corrosion or rust advisories in the history suggests the chassis has remained in a dry environment.
