2015 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · SH15 AAJ

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 25 June 2026 with no defects or advisories recorded. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has consistently passed its tests over the last few years, with only one minor failure and a set of consumable-related advisories. The absence of structural corrosion or major mechanical failures suggests a vehicle that has been reasonably well-maintained in line with its age. With a recorded mileage of 75,885 miles over approximately eleven years, the car has averaged roughly 6,899 miles per year. This represents typical usage for a small hatchback, suggesting a balanced duty cycle that avoids the pitfalls of both excessive wear from high mileage and the degradation associated with prolonged standing. Mechanically, this mileage indicates that while major components like the engine and gearbox should remain robust, the vehicle is entering a phase where secondary consumables and suspension components will require closer scrutiny. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system and tyre condition, following the advisories from October 2025. Specifically, the offside rear brake discs were noted as pitted or scored and the pads were wearing thin. During a test drive, listen for any grinding noises from the rear or feel for brake shudder under deceleration, which would indicate the discs have not been replaced. Additionally, the previous advisory regarding offside front tyre edge wear suggests a potential misalignment or incorrect camber; inspect the current tyre tread for uneven wear patterns that could indicate a need for a four-wheel alignment. Given the 2024 failure of the offside front constant velocity boot, verify that the replacement part is secure and free from new splits. Listen for rhythmic clicking sounds during tight, low-speed turns, which would signal a failing joint. Furthermore, as an eleven-year-old vehicle, it is essential to verify the service history for calendar-based maintenance. Check for the condition of suspension bushes for perishing or cracking and ensure the 12V battery is holding a steady charge. Finally, inspect the engine oil and coolant for signs of degradation or contamination to ensure the vehicle has been serviced by time rather than just by mileage.
