2018 Hyundai I20 1.4L Petrol · ML18 ACO

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT test on 13 March 2026 at 40,833 miles with no defects recorded. Maintenance trend appears stable across the recorded history, with consecutive passes from 27 March 2023 through 13 March 2026 aside from an anomalous failure on 28 March 2024 that listed no defects. The lack of advisories or recorded faults across five tests signals consistent compliance with statutory standards. The i20 shows low annual usage for an eight-year-old car, accumulating roughly 5,104 miles per year against the recorded 40,833 miles. From the 27 March 2023 test at 27,488 miles to the 14 March 2025 test at 37,216 miles, the vehicle covered about 9,728 miles over two years, a modest rate. A curious duplication occurs on 28 March 2024: the tester logged both a pass and a fail at identical mileage of 33,946, with no defects noted on either entry. Such a clean record with sparse data points limits deep wear analysis but suggests light, possibly intermittent use by prior keepers who nonetheless met test deadlines. Despite the absence of flagged defects, a buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related corrosion or perishing rubber, as low-mileage cars often sit unused and develop hidden rust. The March 2024 failure with no defects recorded demands clarification from the selling party; obtain the full DVSA test certificate to confirm the reason. Check exhaust emissions and structural integrity underneath, particularly subframe and sills, given the vehicle's standing periods.
