2022 Hyundai I20 SE Connect Mhev T-GDI 1.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · RO22 YDR

A consistent pattern of clean MOT passes, free from any recorded failures or major advisories, defines the roadworthiness profile of this Hyundai i20. Both recorded examinations on file resulted in passes, with the most recent test on 25 March 2026 returning no defects at all, and the prior test on 14 March 2025 producing only minor advisories concerning brake disc surface condition on both axles. This suggests a vehicle that has not required any remedial work to remain legally compliant, with the only items of note being gradual wear to consumable braking components. The absence of any structural, suspension, corrosion, or exhaust advisories across the recorded history indicates that the chassis and supporting components have not yet attracted any examiner concerns. With 31,613 miles accumulated over four years of life, the vehicle is averaging roughly 7,900 miles annually, which sits comfortably within typical usage parameters for a car of this age and class. There are no recorded gaps in testing history or unusually large mileage jumps between examinations, meaning the recorded accumulation has been steady rather than indicating any long periods of standing unused or sudden heavy use. Mechanically, this level of mileage on a mild-hybrid turbocharged petrol powertrain points to moderate wear on typical service items such as brake friction material, tyres, and drive belts, but without any indication that the vehicle has been subjected to arduous high-mileage conditions that accelerate component fatigue. The brake disc advisories from the 2025 examination align well with this mileage level, as discs generally begin to show surface pitting and scoring after several years of regular road use. For a prospective buyer, the most relevant items to scrutinise are the brake discs that were flagged in the 2025 advisory. Both front and rear discs were noted as worn, pitted, or scored but not seriously weakened at that time, and given another twelve months of motoring since the 2025 test, it is reasonable to expect these discs may now be approaching the threshold where replacement becomes advisable. On a test drive, listen for any scraping, grinding, or squealing noise from the wheels during low-speed manoeuvring, and feel for any pulsation or judder through the brake pedal or steering wheel under firm braking, which would indicate disc warping. Inspect the discs visually through the wheel spokes for a pronounced lip on the outer edge or heavy rust scoring across the friction surface, as either would suggest replacement is due. Beyond the brake discs, attention should focus on the suspension, steering, and underbody components, none of which have attracted any advisories to date but warrant confirmation through a physical inspection and test drive. Listen for any clonking or knocking from the front suspension over speed humps or uneven surfaces, which could indicate worn bushes or drop links, and check for uneven tyre wear across both axles, as this often points to alignment issues or worn suspension geometry. Given the mild-hybrid system, it is also sensible to confirm that the 12V auxiliary battery and the hybrid system warning lights function correctly upon ignition, and to verify that there are no warning lights illuminated on the dashboard before and during the test drive. Given the limited defect history and current mileage, a pre-purchase inspection by a competent technician should provide reassurance and confirm the vehicle remains in sound mechanical order.
