2012 Hyundai I20 1.4L Petrol · LP12 UMJ

The vehicle currently presents a roadworthy profile with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test in September 2025 at 121,404 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just two days prior at 121,401 miles. This specific sequence suggests a minor issue was rectified immediately before the retest. Since early 2022, the vehicle has maintained a clean record without recurring advisories, indicating that mechanical components are meeting minimum standards. At 121,404 miles over fourteen years, the car averages approximately 8,672 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. There is a significant gap in data between the March 2022 and September 2023 tests, during which the car covered 13,888 miles. However, the interval of 5,651 miles between the 2023 and 2025 tests shows consistent use. The lack of high mileage helps mitigate the risk of seal degradation or corrosion often associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most prone to age-related wear on this model. While the MOT history is clean, the vehicle's age necessitates a close check of suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or fatigue. Inspect the brake discs for uneven wear or excessive corrosion, as the record does not rule out binding issues. Checking the structural integrity of the chassis for surface rust is essential to ensure the vehicle remains sound despite its recorded mileage.
