2019 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · MH06 AFH

A consistent history of clean MOT results defines this vehicle's recent roadworthiness, with the most recent test on 17 July 2026 showing no defects. While there was a single failure in August 2024 regarding ineffective nearside and offside front windscreen wipers, the subsequent two annual inspections have passed without any recorded advisories or mechanical faults. This trend suggests a stable regulatory history where minor consumable issues, such as the wiper blades, were addressed promptly to maintain compliance. The vehicle's usage profile is characterised by relatively low annual mileage, averaging approximately 5,774 miles per year over its seven-year lifespan. With a recorded mileage of 40,420 as of the latest test, the vehicle has been driven significantly less than the UK average. Mechanically, this lower accumulation rate typically results in less wear on heavy-use components such as the braking system, suspension bushings, and drivetrain, though it is important to note that low-mileage vehicles can sometimes experience more frequent degradation of rubber components or seals due to longer intervals between mechanical operation. Given the lack of recorded advisories for structural corrosion, fluid leaks, or suspension wear, a physical inspection should focus on verifying that the low mileage has not resulted in any age-related deterioration of rubber elements. During a test drive, pay close attention to the steering response and listen for any knocks or knocks from the suspension when navigating uneven surfaces, which would indicate wear in the coil springs or bushes. Additionally, monitor the brake pedal feel for any sponginess or pulsation to ensure the braking system remains as clean as the MOT record suggests. Since the only recorded failure involved windscreen wiper effectiveness, ensure that the wiper motor operates smoothly and that the blades provide a clear, streak-free sweep across the entire glass surface. Check the washer fluid spray pattern and nozzle functionality to confirm there are no blockages. While the MOT history is clear of reported leaks, a visual check of the engine bay for any signs of oil misting or weeping from gaskets is a prudent measure to complement the official documentation.
