2009 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · RE59 VLU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 18 August 2025 at 85,958 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears to be stable following a period of inconsistency in previous years. While the history shows failures that required immediate attention in the past, the clean sheets from the two most recent inspections indicate that the owner has addressed the necessary repairs to bring the car up to passing standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,056 miles per year. Between August 2023 and August 2024, the car covered 1,652 miles, and it covered another 1,590 miles in the year leading up to the most recent test. This low annual usage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but long periods of standing can lead to degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyres, as well as corrosion on brake lines. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that may have caused the failures in 2023 and 2024, although the specific fault reasons were not detailed in the provided summary. Given the age of the vehicle, a close look at structural integrity is essential, particularly around the sills and wheel arches where rust often accumulates. The low mileage also justifies a check for seized brake calipers or perished rubber hoses, which are common issues in vehicles that remain stationary for long durations.
