2020 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · SW20 EYO

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-15 passed with minor issues: the nearside registration plate lamp was inoperative, and the nearside front drive shaft joint boot was severely deteriorated. These are both repairable but indicate some neglect or wear. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of minor to moderate faults, particularly with lighting and braking components. In 2025, the nearside front headlamp failed on dipped beam, and in 2024, the car failed due to tyres at legal limit, worn brake discs, a torn rear wiper, a torn brake pedal rubber, and a non-working boot lamp. These failures suggest ongoing issues with electrical systems, brake components, and tyre maintenance. The trend appears to be stable rather than worsening, with similar types of faults recurring over time. However, the most recent MOT did not record any brake-related issues, which could indicate improvement or simply a lack of inspection depth. The absence of major structural or safety defects in recent MOTs is a positive sign. The vehicle has covered roughly 10,765 miles per year over six years, which is typical for its age. This mileage suggests regular use without excessive wear, though it does not rule out periods of inactivity.
