2012 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · OY62 VMX

The most recent MOT from October 2025 shows a significant increase in mechanical concerns, specifically regarding the suspension and corrosion. While the vehicle passed, the report highlights a severely deteriorated offside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover, a worn suspension arm pin or bush, and corrosion on both the front suspension arm and the rear coil springs. The vehicle's condition trend is worsening. After a clean MOT in 2023, the records show a steady decline, moving from handbrake and tyre issues in previous years to more serious suspension and corrosion problems in the most recent test. The mileage is notably low for a 14-year-old car, averaging roughly 4,276 miles per year. While this suggests light use, the presence of corroded suspension components and perishing tyres suggests the vehicle may have experienced long periods of being stationary, which can accelerate the degradation of rubber and metal. A buyer should first inspect the vehicle's underside to assess the actual extent of the corrosion on the suspension arms and coil springs. You should also closely examine all suspension bushes and rubber dust covers to ensure they are not at immediate risk of failure.
