2013 Hyundai IX20 1.4L Petrol · RJ13 FRF

This Hyundai iX20 has maintained a consistent MOT pass record over the past four annual tests, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of the examinations conducted between May 2022 and May 2025. The most recent test, on 22 May 2025 at 53,096 miles, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, though the absence of any recorded issues does not preclude the need for a thorough independent inspection. The lack of advisories or minor faults suggests the vehicle has not experienced repeated mechanical failures, but this does not rule out deferred maintenance or hidden wear—particularly in areas not routinely tested, such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or subframe integrity. The recorded mileage of 53,096 miles over 13 years—approximately 4,084 miles annually—indicates unusually light usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps in service intervals, and the mileage increments between tests remain steady, averaging around 2,600 miles per year. While low mileage generally correlates with reduced wear on high-stress components, it can also imply prolonged periods of inactivity, which may accelerate corrosion or degradation of rubber seals, suspension components, and battery health. The consistent annual testing pattern suggests at least basic compliance with legal requirements, but it does not confirm whether intermediate servicing—such as fluid changes, brake inspections, or suspension checks—has been conducted. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension components, including the condition of rear wheel bearings, which are prone to premature failure in low-mileage vehicles left stationary for extended periods. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, should be assessed for uneven wear or binding calipers, particularly if the vehicle has experienced sporadic use. Corrosion checks are critical, especially around the wheel arches, sills, and subframe, as moisture accumulation from standing can accelerate rust penetration. Finally, the battery and electrical connections should be examined, as prolonged inactivity can lead to sulfation or terminal corrosion, which may not be evident in a standard MOT.
