2009 Hyundai I20 1.4L Petrol · LS09 DUJ

The 2009 Hyundai i20 presents a stable and largely unblemished maintenance trajectory, culminating in a clean pass recorded on 23 August 2025 at 62,564 miles. The MOT history shows no recurring mechanical defects or structural advisories across the documented tests. A notable anomaly appears in the August 2025 record, where a failure and a pass are logged on the same day at the identical mileage. This typically indicates a retest following a minor rectification, yet the absence of recorded defects for both entries makes the specific cause impossible to verify from the data alone. Regardless, the vehicle has consistently met roadworthiness standards without presenting a worsening trend of mechanical faults. The recorded mileage of 62,564 miles is exceptionally low for a vehicle approaching its seventeenth year, averaging roughly 3,680 miles annually. Examining the chronological data reveals a period of minimal use between August 2022 and August 2023, when the odometer advanced by only 1,361 miles. Usage increased slightly in the subsequent twelve months, accumulating 10,516 miles by the August 2024 test. However, the mileage then plateaued entirely, showing zero miles driven between the August 2024 test at 57,034 miles and the August 2025 test at 62,564 miles. This stagnation suggests the vehicle has either stood stationary for a prolonged period or the recent mileage entry contains an error. Given the absence of flagged defects, a buyer should focus on the specific risks associated with low-mileage, older vehicles rather than recurring mechanical failures. Prolonged stationary periods can cause brake disc corrosion, binding calipers, and perished rubber suspension bushes or tyre sidewalls. The lack of recent mileage accumulation warrants a thorough inspection of the exhaust system for corrosion and the undercarriage for structural rust. A physical inspection must verify the condition of the coil springs and shock absorbers, as light use does not preclude deterioration from age.
