2013 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · LM57 LAV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in March 2026 at 51,859 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but indicates a reactive approach to repairs regarding minor wear-related items. While the car failed in March 2023 due to an ineffective windscreen wiper, the subsequent tests show that the owner is addressing flagged faults as they arise. The record shows no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or structural deterioration. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 51,859 miles averages out to approximately 4,000 miles per year. This low usage profile typically suggests less strain on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mile vehicles. The data shows consistent, incremental mileage growth, with only 4,689 miles covered between March 2024 and March 2026. However, low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from degradation of rubber components and seizing of brake calipers if the car sits stationary for long periods without regular use. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the nearside front drive shaft, as the CV boot was flagged as severely deteriorated in 2024. If this was not replaced promptly, grease may have escaped, leading to premature joint failure and vibration. The history also notes low tyre tread on the offside front in both 2024 and 2025, suggesting the current tyres may be nearing the end of their functional life. Ensure the nearside front washer jet mentioned in the 2026 advisory has been repaired to maintain adequate visibility.
