2021 Hyundai I20 Element T-GDI 1.0L Petrol · VK71 MXT

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend across its limited MOT history. The most recent test in September 2025 at 15,791 miles resulted in a pass despite minor advisories related to external components. This follows a completely clean record from the 2024 test at 10,034 miles, indicating that the vehicle has not suffered from significant mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,158 miles per year. Between the September 2024 and September 2025 tests, the car covered only 5,757 miles. While low usage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain, suspension, and brake system, such infrequent mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components if the vehicle sits for extended periods, a fact reflected in the latest inspection findings. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyres and wiper blades flagged by the tester. The 2025 advisory noted cracking and perishing on both the nearside front and nearside rear tyres, which is a common symptom of age-related dry rot despite low mileage. The defective windscreen wiper blade is a minor consumable failure that requires immediate replacement. Beyond these items, the lack of recorded defects in the brake system or structural integrity suggests the core mechanical components remain in good condition.
