2013 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · MW62 GWV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 at 87,450 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of neglect in early 2025. While the 2025 failure revealed multiple issues regarding lighting and braking, the subsequent clean pass indicates that the owner addressed the immediate mechanical and electrical faults highlighted during the previous testing cycle. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 11,539 miles covered between February 2024 (61,683 miles) and March 2025 (73,222 miles), followed by another 14,228 miles covered between March 2025 and February 2026. This steady accumulation suggests consistent use rather than long periods of stationary storage which often degrades seals and rubber components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the record shows a recurring history of wear. The 2024 test flagged thin pads on both axles, and the 2025 failure identified pitted and scored rear brake discs along with excessive parking brake movement. Although these appear rectified based on the February 2026 pass, the buyer must check for uneven pad wear and ensure the hand brake mechanism remains properly adjusted to prevent future binding. Electrical components should also be verified, specifically the lighting array, as the previous failure for the headlamp aim and registration plate lamp indicates a lapse in basic pre-test checks. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the undercarriage and suspension mounting is advisable, though no structural defects have been flagged in the provided history. The overall data suggests a vehicle where the previous owner responds to maintenance requirements when prompted by MOT failures rather than following a proactive preventative schedule.
