2016 Hyundai I20 1.0L Petrol · NG65 AEE

This Hyundai i20 presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 21 May 2025 at 70,316 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to January 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has suffered very little mechanical degradation. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical UK usage for a ten year old vehicle. Between January 2022 and May 2025, the odometer rose from 45,937 to 70,316 miles. A notable anomaly appears in early 2024, where the car passed two tests within two months, on 27 March and 24 May, with almost no mileage gained. This suggests a potential administrative error or a re-test for a non-mechanical reason, though both results were clean. The lack of any recorded advisories over the last four years is uncommon for a vehicle of this age. There are no recurring mentions of suspension bush wear, brake disc corrosion, or tyre tread depletion. The absence of structural rust or exhaust leaks in the official record suggests the previous owners prioritised preventative maintenance. A physical inspection should still focus on consumables that the MOT tester may have overlooked or deemed acceptable but are nearing the end of their life. Check the condition of the brake pads and the depth of the tyre treads. Given the clean record, the buyer should primarily verify that the service history matches the MOT cleanliness, ensuring oil changes and filter replacements occurred regardless of the lack of test failures.
