2011 Hyundai IX20 1.4L Petrol · SC60 FLB

This Hyundai iX20 has maintained a consistent MOT history with no defects recorded across five consecutive tests, most recently passing on 28 March 2026 at 40,713 miles. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has been subjected to regular, if not rigorous, maintenance checks—though this does not preclude hidden wear beyond the MOT’s scope. The most recent test confirms the car remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, though the 14-month gap since the last inspection means some components may now exceed their typical service intervals. No recurring issues indicate a pattern of neglect or mechanical instability, but the low mileage complicates wear-based predictions. The recorded mileage of 40,713 miles over 15 years—approximately 2,700 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either minimal use or prolonged periods of storage. The intervals between tests are consistent, with roughly 12–13 months between each MOT, and no abrupt spikes or drops in mileage to suggest irregular driving habits. While low mileage can imply less consumable wear, it also raises questions about fluid changes (brakes, power steering, transmission) and suspension preloading, which may not have been addressed as frequently as they should have been. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which are prone to fatigue over time regardless of mileage. The brakes, though never flagged, warrant closer examination for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Tyres, despite no MOT failures, should be checked for uneven tread wear or embedded debris, as low mileage does not guarantee they have been rotated or balanced. Finally, inspect the underbody for corrosion around wheel arches and sills, as standing vehicles are more susceptible to structural rust, even with minimal movement. The absence of MOT advisories does not eliminate these risks.
