2018 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · SH18 UPC

The 2018 Hyundai i20 presents a stable and largely reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 30 April 2026 at 76,999 miles. The most recent test recorded only minor advisories for both rear tyres wearing close to the legal limit, indicating the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy state without any serious mechanical or structural failures in recent years. The record shows a clear pattern of resolving rather than recurring faults, with no single component category failing repeatedly across consecutive tests. The mileage accumulation of roughly 9,625 miles per year is entirely typical for an eight-year-old supermini, and the MOT intervals confirm consistent annual use without prolonged standing periods. The 12,524-mile jump between the May 2025 test at 64,475 miles and the April 2026 test at 76,999 miles suggests a period of heavier use, likely covering a mix of short and longer journeys. The record is well-populated with five tests spanning three years, leaving no significant gaps that would raise concerns about unaccounted mileage or missed annual tests. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and tyre condition during any physical inspection. The May 2025 test flagged both rear brake pads wearing thin, and the April 2026 test found both rear tyres worn to the legal limit, suggesting the rear axle components are wearing faster than the front. This could point to a binding rear caliper or simply a car that spends more time loaded at the rear, but it warrants a thorough check of disc thickness, caliper slide pins, and handbrake mechanism. The May 2024 failure for an offside front brake pad below 1.5 mm and a faulty windscreen washer indicates basic consumable upkeep was briefly neglected, though both were promptly rectified the same day. No structural corrosion, suspension defects, or exhaust emissions failures have ever been recorded, which is a positive sign for a vehicle of this age.
