2015 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · PK15 AEU

This 2015 Hyundai I20 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a notably clean bill of health at its most recent MOT. The June 2025 test, conducted at 27,202 miles, recorded zero defects or advisories, a significant improvement over the preceding years. This suggests the previous owner addressed the vehicle's wear items proactively. The trend is clearly positive, moving from advisories on tyres and brakes to a fully clear pass, indicating attentive, if not always perfectly timed, maintenance. The vehicle's mileage profile is exceptionally low for its age, averaging just 2,473 miles per year over its eleven-year life. The record shows a consistent, gradual accumulation, with no alarming gaps or sudden jumps in the annual mileage between tests. The 1,926 miles added between the June 2024 and June 2025 tests indicate slightly increased recent use, but the overall pattern points to a car that has spent much of its life parked or used for very short, local journeys. This low mileage is a double-edged sword; while it limits wear on major components, it can lead to deterioration of rubber items and potential corrosion from lack of use. Prospective buyers should focus their in-person inspection on components that suffer from low-mileage use rather than high-mileage wear. The recurring advisories on front brake pads and all-round tyre wear in previous years highlight that consumables were being monitored, but the clean 2025 pass means these have been recently replaced. A thorough check of the brake system for any signs of binding or uneven wear is prudent, given the history of pad wear advisories. The tyre wear noted in 2022, described as "worn on edge," is a classic symptom of worn suspension bushes or tracking issues. A close examination of the front suspension bushes, ball joints, and wheel alignment is strongly recommended to ensure this underlying cause was rectified and not merely masked by new tyres. Finally, inspect the underside and structural points for any corrosion, as a vehicle used predominantly for short trips is more susceptible to moisture accumulation and rust.
