2011 Hyundai IX20 1.6L Petrol · PX61 WCD

The 1.6-litre petrol engine in this ix20 sits in a higher tax bracket than the smaller engine variants, so check the current VED rates before purchase. Fuel economy is moderate for a vehicle of this type, and you should factor in the costs of consumables like tyres and brake pads, which will likely require replacement more frequently given the vehicle's mileage.

Insurance costs should be relatively manageable for a vehicle of this age and class, though this will depend on your individual driving history. Expect typical annual maintenance costs to fluctuate; budget for potential repairs to suspension components and exhaust systems as the vehicle continues to age.

Focus your inspection on the underside of the car. Although the recent MOTs show no defects, the history of failures suggests that components such as brakes, suspension bushes, and exhaust mounts should be scrutinised for signs of wear or recent replacement. Check the tyres for uneven wear, which could indicate alignment issues.

Verify that all lights, indicators, and safety features are operational. Since the MOT history does not detail the specific reasons for the 2024 and 2026 failures, look for any signs of recent mechanical work or replacement parts under the bonnet that might explain why the vehicle failed its initial test.
