2009 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · SM09 TYZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the final entries in its MOT history. The most recent test conducted in October 2023 at 119,723 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle met all mechanical and safety standards at that time. While the history shows two previous failures in 2021 and 2022, the immediate passes on those same days suggest the previous owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults quickly. At 119,723 miles over 17 years, the car has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical low-to-moderate usage for its age. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between October 2021 and October 2022, and approximately 10,500 miles covered between October 2022 and October 2023. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme stress, though the age of the components increases the likelihood of degradation in rubber-based parts and seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the undercarriage, specifically checking for corrosion on the sills and rear suspension points which are common in vehicles of this era. Given the clean reports in the most recent tests, the suspension bushes and brake lines should be examined for signs of perished rubber or cracking. Since the last recorded MOT was over two and a half years ago relative to the current date, a fresh safety inspection is essential to ensure no new mechanical failures or fluid leaks have developed since the 2023 test.
