Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Given the low annual mileage, you should verify the service history to ensure oil changes were performed at regular intervals regardless of distance. Check that the brake pads and front tyres mentioned in the March 2023 advisory were replaced, as these are standard wear-and-tear items.
Negotiate based on the remaining tread depth of the tyres and the date of the last major service. Ensure you have documentation for the rear shock absorber replacement that occurred in March 2025 to confirm the work was carried out by a professional garage.
The 1.59L petrol engine is designed for efficiency in urban environments, though it will have higher fuel consumption on long motorway journeys compared to a diesel. Tax and insurance for the ix20 are generally kept low due to its positioning as a family-friendly city car.
Maintenance costs are typically modest for this model, focusing on basic consumables. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, is approximately £1,200-£1,600 depending on annual mileage.
Focus your inspection on the rear suspension. The MOT history shows a progression of a fault on the offside rear shock absorber, moving from 'light misting of oil' in March 2024 to a 'serious fluid leak' in March 2025; ensure the replacement part is functioning correctly and there are no further leaks.
Check all exterior lighting, specifically the rear stop lamps, as this was a point of failure in 2025. Finally, inspect the front brakes and tyres to ensure the wear noted in the 2023 MOT has been addressed with new components.
This black 2016 Hyundai ix20 has covered 52,759 miles, which is significantly lower than the typical average for its age. The MOT history shows five tests recorded, with the most recent test in March 2026 resulting in a pass with no defects. While there was a failure in March 2025, it was rectified within three days.
Aggregate data for the ix20 is unavailable, but this specific vehicle's record shows a consistent ability to pass MOT tests.
