2017 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · MF67 FNM

The most recent MOT test conducted on 26 July 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. Looking back through the history to 2022, the vehicle has maintained a remarkably stable maintenance trend, achieving four consecutive clean passes. This absence of recorded failures or advisories indicates a vehicle that has likely been kept in good mechanical order or has experienced very limited operational stress over the last several years. The recorded mileage of 35,133 miles is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 3,904 miles per year. While this suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine internals, and interior trim, such low annual usage often indicates a pattern of short journeys or extended periods of standing. From a mechanical perspective, this shifts the risk profile from wear-and-tear degradation to age-related deterioration of rubber and fluid-based components. Given the clean MOT record and low mileage, the prospective buyer should focus on components that degrade over time rather than distance. It is critical to inspect the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or hairline cracking, as tyres can lose their structural integrity through age even if the tread depth remains legal. Similarly, the brake discs should be examined for surface corrosion or pitting, and the pedal feel should be checked during a test drive to ensure there are no binding calipers resulting from prolonged inactivity. Attention must also be paid to the vehicle's fluid health and electrical system. The buyer should verify the service history to ensure that engine oil and other essential fluids have been changed based on a calendar interval rather than solely on mileage, as oil degrades chemically over time. The 12V battery should be tested for health, as low-mileage vehicles are prone to undercharging and premature failure. Finally, a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of rubber perish or surface corrosion is advised to ensure the chassis remains as sound as the MOT history suggests.
