2016 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · NA16 WDT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on March 24 2026 at 70,796 miles. While it initially failed on that same day due to a non-functional nearside stop lamp, the immediate rectification allowed for a pass. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the record shows a history of minor consumable-related defects rather than escalating mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between March 2023 and March 2024, the car covered 6,360 miles, followed by another 6,140 miles to the 2025 test, and 6,868 miles leading up to the 2026 test. This steady accumulation suggests regular usage patterns, which is generally beneficial for the health of rubber components and suspension bushings compared to vehicles that sit stationary. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyres, given the history of wear issues. The March 2023 test at 52,568 miles flagged thin front brake pads, and the March 2025 test at 65,788 miles noted a front tyre worn to the legal limit and unevenly. These entries indicate that the previous owner addressed maintenance only when components approached failure. You should verify the current condition of the wiper blades, as both were previously flagged as defective in 2024, and ensure the nearside stop lamp bulb has been properly replaced since the recent failure.
