Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history shows a trend of deferred attention regarding the braking system. The most recent test in November 2025 at 80,725 miles passed despite a recurring advisory for pitted and scored rear brake discs. This specific issue has persisted since 2023 at 59,702 miles, indicating that the owner has opted to run the components until their legal limit rather than replacing them proactively. The mileage pattern is consistent with an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. The record shows steady usage with no significant gaps in testing, suggesting the car has not sat for long periods which would lead to internal component degradation. However, a notable increase in usage occurred between November 2022 and November 2024, where the car covered 18,229 miles in two years. This increased activity correlates with the appearance of defects in the 2024 test, where three tyres were flagged near the legal limit or showing signs of uneven wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear braking assembly to ensure the pitting on the discs has not compromised structural integrity or caused caliper binding. The 2024 advisory regarding edge wear on the front and rear tyres often points to an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes which should be checked for play. Given the previous report of a perishing nearside rear tyre in 2024, a thorough check of the rubber condition is necessary to ensure no hidden cracking exists despite the low annual mileage.

Our Verdict

This 2015 Hyundai i20 presents a general

When inspecting this i20, verify the service history to see if the rear brake discs and pads have been replaced recently, as they have been flagged on three successive MOT tests from 2023 to 2025. Check the condition of all four tyres, paying close attention to the inner and outer edges where previous wear has been noted on both front and rear axles. Negotiate on the price if the braking components require immediate attention.

The 1.25-litre petrol engine offers sensible fuel economy suited for both urban commuting and longer motorway journeys. Insurance groups for the Hyundai i20 are typically modest, keeping policy costs accessible for most drivers. Typical annual maintenance should remain straightforward, though routine consumable replacements like tyres and brakes will dictate ongoing expenditure.

Pay close attention to the rear brake discs, which were last noted as worn, pitted, or scored during the November 2025 MOT test at 80,725 miles. Inspect the tyre tread depths and sidewalls across all corners, referencing the 2024 MOT advisories that highlighted edge wear and cracking on previous tyres. Additionally, check the operation of headlamps, windscreen washers, and wipers, as lighting and visibility components rank among the top failure reasons for this model.

First registered in November 2015, this red Hyundai i20 features a 1248.0cc petrol engine and has accumulated 80,725 miles. The vehicle's MOT history shows five consecutive passes from 2021 to 2025, though consistent advisories regarding worn rear brake discs and periodic tyre wear have been logged. The mileage sits above the national average for this model line, reflecting regular use.

The Hyundai i20 demonstrates a solid reliability record with an aggregate MOT pass rate of 80.7% across more than 127,000 tested vehicles.
