2016 Hyundai IX20 1.6L Diesel · NG65 ETT

The vehicle currently sits at 74,000 miles on a 2016 Hyundai IX20, which places it at approximately 10 years old. The MOT record shows a progression from a 2026 test at 74,000 miles passing to a 2024 test at 51,250 miles, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past two years. However, the 2024 test at 51,250 miles revealed a critical defect: the windscreen was damaged but not adversely affecting the driver's view, suggesting a potential issue that requires inspection. The mileage accumulation is not erratic; it is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 7,400 miles per year. While the 2025 test at 60,626 miles passed without defects, the 2024 test at 51,250 miles flagged a specific wear pattern on the front brake pad, and the 2023 test at 42,596 miles flagged a defective wiper blade. This pattern suggests a trend of basic upkeep being skipped, where minor consumable wear is not addressed until it reaches critical failure points, which is a significant risk for the drivetrain and brakes. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and brake disc condition during a physical visit. The 2026 test at 74,000 miles flagged the rear inner tyre, while the 2024 test at 51,250 miles flagged the front brake pad. Given the 2024 and 2023 records, the likelihood of these components failing is elevated, and the 2022 test at 34,143 miles flagged a cracked or perishing rear tyre. Therefore, the vehicle is roadworthy but not without a need for a professional inspection to verify the condition of the windscreen, brake discs, and tyre wear before purchase.
