2009 Hyundai I20 1.4L Petrol · SW09 EUH

The 2009 Hyundai i20 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 October 2025 at 115,205 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run of annual examinations since 2022. Annual mileage sits at a typical 6,777 miles for a 17-year-old car. The record shows 83,097 miles in October 2022, 92,222 miles in October 2023, 104,857 miles in October 2024, and 115,205 miles in October 2025. The owner added roughly 9,000 to 11,000 miles each year. The DVSA data is sparse on faults: a failed test on 21 October 2023 at 92,221 miles shows no defects recorded, immediately followed the same day by a pass at 92,222 miles, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical defect. No advisories or defects appear across the five entries, so the tester logged no worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, binding calipers, or exhaust issues at the recorded mileages. A clean sheet over three years implies the previous keeper kept basic consumables and structural items within limits, though MOT pass with no defects does not confirm component condition between tests. A buyer should still inspect the car in person for age-related corrosion on sills and subframes, check brake disc thickness and tyre tread depth, and confirm the suspension has no perished bushes or weak coil springs. The same-day fail and pass in October 2023 warrants a check of the VIN and test paperwork to rule out a clerical error, but the mechanical history itself raises no red flags.
