2017 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · RK67 KPL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The latest test in May 2025 at 98,757 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure due to both windscreen wipers failing to clear the glass. While the immediate defect was rectified, the history shows a pattern of allowing components to reach a point of failure, such as the brake linings noted in previous years, suggesting the owner only addresses faults once they threaten an MOT pass result. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical UK road cars of this age, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. Between the April 2022 test at 64,248 miles and the May 2025 test at 98,757 miles, the vehicle covered over 34,000 miles. This steady usage pattern suggests the car has not sat stationary for long periods, which explains the expected level of progressive wear on consumable items like tyres and suspension components seen in the earlier records. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the 2023 test flagged severely deteriorated nearside and offside ball joint dust covers. While these were likely replaced, recurring degradation of rubber boots often indicates alignment issues or excessive stress on the steering assembly. The brake system also warrants checking for uneven wear or binding calipers, given the history of thin rear linings at 78,423 miles. Because the vehicle is approaching the 100,000-mile milestone, the condition of the exhaust system and structural integrity should be verified for signs of corrosion that may not yet have triggered a failure advisory.
