2014 Hyundai I20 1.1L Diesel · SV14 TCU

The 2014 Hyundai I20 presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 2 March 2026 at 60,496 miles with zero defects recorded. No advisory or failure items appear anywhere in the supplied history, which is uncommon for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The pattern suggests consistent, attentive ownership rather than neglect or deferred work. The mileage profile is notably low at roughly 5,041 miles per year. Between the February 2023 test at 42,968 miles and the March 2025 test at 52,619 miles, the car covered 9,651 miles across a two-year window, averaging 4,825 miles annually. From March 2025 to March 2026, it added just 7,877 miles, a modest increase that still sits below typical national averages. The tight clustering of the March 2024 failure and retest at 51,668 miles on consecutive days indicates a same-day re-test with no recorded defects, likely an administrative or procedural re-inspection rather than a mechanical repair. The complete absence of advisories across six tests spanning over three years is significant. No corrosion, suspension wear, brake deterioration, or exhaust emissions concerns have been flagged by any tester. On a vehicle of this age, even minor items like worn tyre tread depth or degraded wiper blades typically appear at least once. Their total absence implies that consumables and key components have been replaced proactively ahead of test thresholds. Despite this clean record, a buyer should still carry out a physical inspection focused on areas MOT tests do not fully assess. Check the underside for surface rust on subframes, brake lines, and suspension mounting points, particularly around the rear beam and front strut towers. Examine the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration that may not yet constitute a test failure. Verify that the handbrake holds firmly on a slope and that the brake discs and pads show even wear, since low-mileage use can cause disc corrosion from prolonged standing. Confirm the exhaust system is free from leaks or deterioration, and inspect the tyre sidewalls for perishing given the car's age. A short test drive over uneven surfaces will reveal any latent suspension clunks or steering issues that a static inspection might miss.
