2009 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · MT59 HHM

The most recent MOT passed in late December 2025, but the vehicle has recently undergone failures related to corrosion and suspension components. There is a clear pattern of corrosion affecting the rear brake pipes and both rear coil springs, which has been noted in multiple inspections since late 2024. The most recent failure also identified damaged or deteriorated dust covers on the offside front track rod end and the nearside front suspension arm ball joint. The vehicle's condition trend looks to be worsening. The MOT history shows a transition from basic consumable wear, such as tyres and brake pads in 2023, to more serious structural and component deterioration in 2025. The recorded mileage of 100,789 is low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging about 5,929 miles per year. While this suggests lighter use, the recurring corrosion issues could imply the car has spent long periods standing, which can allow moisture and salt to settle on the underbody. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the vehicle's underside to check for further corrosion on the brake pipes and chassis, and check the condition of all suspension dust covers and joints.
