Our Verdict
A sensible choice for those seeking a lo
When viewing this specific i20, verify that the front brake discs and pads replaced in July 2026 were fitted with quality parts, as the previous failure noted significant wear and pitting. Given the tyre failure recorded at 50,508 miles, check the remaining tread depth and age on all four tyres to ensure they are not nearing the end of their life.
Ask the seller for evidence of service history to supplement the MOT data. While the MOTs show no recurring mechanical failures, checking the interval between oil changes is vital for the 1.2L petrol engine. Negotiate based on the recent necessity for brake and tyre maintenance if these haven't been fully documented in the sale price.
The 1248cc petrol engine is positioned in a typically lower insurance group, making it an economical choice for newer drivers. Fuel economy for this model is generally efficient for urban driving, though actual figures will depend on maintenance.
Tax and insurance costs should be relatively modest. Expect annual maintenance to be driven by consumable items like tyres and brakes, which were highlighted in the most recent MOT history. Estimated annual running costs are mid-range for a small petrol hatchback.
Focus your inspection on the front axle area. The July 2026 MOT failure specifically cited worn/pitted front brake discs, thin pads, and a tyre with exposed cords. Ensure these specific components have been addressed and that there is no residual vibration through the steering wheel when braking.
Additionally, check the windscreen wiper assembly. Although the 2023 MOT failure for defective blades was resolved, it is worth ensuring both blades operate smoothly without streaking. Finally, inspect the tyre sidewalls for any other signs of damage, given the previous cord exposure issue.
This 2013 blue Hyundai i20 has covered 50,511 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average of 6,150 miles per year. The MOT history shows a recent failure in July 2026 due to front brake wear and a tyre defect, but it passed immediately following these repairs. Aside from a minor wiper blade issue in 2023, the vehicle has maintained a consistent pass record.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 80.6% MOT pass rate, with common failures often relating to headlamps, brake pipes, and wipers.
