2009 Hyundai I20 1.4L Petrol · LS59 FNT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in November 2025 with 83,364 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory following a period of significant advisories in 2023 and 2024. While previous tests flagged multiple issues across the braking and suspension systems, the clean sheet from the latest test suggests that the owner has addressed the accumulating mechanical concerns identified in the prior years. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 83,364 miles is low, averaging approximately 4,900 miles per year. This low usage pattern is consistent with the age-related degradation noted in December 2022, where all four tyres were flagged for perishing and cracking despite low tread wear. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows only 4,142 miles, indicating the car remains driven sparingly, which often leads to the oxidation of rubber components and fluids rather than high-frequency mechanical wear. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear braking system, as the history shows recurring corrosion on the brake pipes and hoses from 2023 through 2024. The tester previously noted corroded pipes covered in grease, which can indicate an attempt to mask surface rust rather than replace the corroded metal lines. Additionally, the front suspension bushes and track rod ends were flagged for wear in 2024; while the latest MOT passed, these components should be checked for play or perished perished rubber to ensure the issues have not regressed.
