2009 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · LS59 FNV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection data. The final MOT test performed on 27 January 2022 at 77,240 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating the car was in a clean mechanical state at that time. However, because over four years have elapsed since this last recorded test, the current roadworthiness status is unverified and requires an immediate inspection to ensure no significant degradation has occurred during the period of inactivity. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. The record shows a significant gap of over 8,600 miles between September 2020 and January 2022, followed by no recorded mileage since then. This suggests the car was either used for short trips or sat for extended periods. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it can also lead to the hardening of rubber-based parts like suspension bushes and seals, as well as surface corrosion on brake discs due to a lack of regular use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on structural integrity and underbody components, as the vehicle's age makes it susceptible to corrosion despite the low mileage. Check the sills, wheel arches, and exhaust mounting points for rust which often develops on older Hyundai. Given the failures in 2019 and 2020, although the specific faults were not detailed in the summary, it is prudent to verify that the brake calipers are not seized and that the tyres have not perished from age-related cracking, which is a common issue for vehicles with long intervals since the last recorded MOT entry.
