2012 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · SC61 CTX

The 2025-08-04 MOT at 70,044 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance trend has been stable, with no worsening issues evident since the previous test. The consecutive passes in 2024 and 2023, each with no defects, reinforce this stability. The mileage trajectory shows a modest annual usage of roughly 5,000 miles, well below the typical 10,000‑mile average for a 14‑year‑old car. From the August 2022 test at 58,994 miles to the July 2023 test at 60,560 miles, the vehicle covered just 1,566 miles over 11 months, indicating periods of low activity. The interval between the July 2024 pass at 64,525 miles and the August 2025 pass at 70,044 miles added 5,519 miles in 13 months, a rate that remains modest and consistent with the overall low‑mileage pattern. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension system, checking for worn bushes, coil spring fatigue and any binding in the rear brake calipers, as these components often show early wear on high‑age, low‑mileage cars. Inspection of the brake discs for scoring or corrosion, the condition of the structural chassis for rust, and the exhaust system for rust‑through or leaks is also advisable, given the vehicle’s age and the absence of recorded defects that would mask underlying wear.
