2016 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · SF16 ABH

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, maintaining a consistent record of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in July 2025 at 37,457 miles showed no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This consistency suggests that the previous owners have maintained the car to a standard that avoids the common mechanical failures typically seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old car, averaging approximately 3,746 miles per year. Between the July 2021 test at 18,765 miles and the 2025 test at 37,457 miles, the vehicle covered only 18,692 miles. This low usage typically implies minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and braking system. However, low-mileage vehicles can sometimes lead to the aging of rubber-based components and the stagnation of fluids, which degrade over time regardless of distance. Given the clean MOT history, an in-person inspection should focus on components affected by age rather than mechanical wear. A buyer should check for perished suspension bushes, cracked tyre sidewalls, and dry seals that can occur when a vehicle sits for extended periods. While the record shows no structural corrosion or brake issues, a physical check of the underbody is still necessary to ensure surface rust has not progressed, and the brakes should be inspected to ensure that pitting corrosion has not developed due to infrequent use.
