2021 Hyundai I20 Premium Mhev T-GDI 1.0L Hybrid electric · VE21 XWA

This Hyundai i20 presents a clean and stable maintenance record with no defects recorded across all three MOT tests. The most recent test, conducted on 23 December 2025 at 58,967 miles, passed with zero advisories or failures, indicating the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards at that point. The trend is stable and improving in the sense that no recurring faults have emerged over the recorded history, which is a positive indicator of consistent upkeep. The mileage accumulation is broadly typical for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,793 miles per year. The intervals between tests show a steady progression: 13,181 miles were covered between the July 2024 test at 39,752 miles and the July 2025 test at 52,933 miles, followed by a further 6,034 miles by the December 2025 test. The shorter final interval is expected given the six-month gap between the last two tests rather than a full twelve-month cycle. There are no unusual gaps or sudden spikes in mileage that would suggest prolonged standing or excessive use. Despite the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection. The i20 is a small hatchback commonly used for short urban journeys, so check the condition of the turbocharger and MHEV battery system for any signs of degradation or warning lights. Inspect the front suspension lower arms and anti-roll bar links for play, as these are common wear items on this platform. Examine the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, and verify that the tyres, particularly the inner edges, show even tread distribution. Given the vehicle's age, look for any early signs of corrosion around the wheel arches, sills, and subframe, as structural rust can develop even on well-maintained cars exposed to road salt. The clean MOT history is encouraging, but a test drive and independent inspection remain essential before purchase.
