Known faults for Hyundai ix20
Our database tracks 3 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Good
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.

Our Verdict
This is a strong candidate for a buyer s
When viewing this specific 1.6L petrol ix20, first verify the service history to see if the low mileage has been matched by regular oil changes. Because the vehicle has been driven less than the national average, check for signs of age-related wear on rubber components like belts and hoses, which can perish even if not heavily used.
Negotiate based on the fact that while the MOT history is clean, the vehicle is now 15 years old. Ask the seller for documentation regarding the most recent service to complement the 2025 MOT pass. Given the 1591cc engine, ensure the cooling system has been checked, as this is a common area of interest for petrol crossovers of this era.
The 1.6L petrol engine offers a balance of performance and economy, typically sitting in a moderate insurance group. Fuel economy for the ix20 is standard for a small crossover, though actual MPG will depend on your driving style and load.
Tax and insurance costs should be manageable for a budget-conscious buyer. Maintenance costs for Hyundai models of this vintage are generally predictable, though you should budget for standard consumables like tyres, brakes, and wipers. Estimated annual running costs are approximately £900-£1,150.
Focus your inspection on the areas covered by the MOT. Although the recent 2025 MOT showed no defects, you should manually check the condition of the brake pads and discs, as well as the tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, especially given the lower annual mileage.
Check the blue paintwork for any signs of fading or clear coat issues, which can occur on older vehicles. Additionally, inspect the underside for any signs of corrosion, and listen for any unusual noises from the suspension when test-driving, as these are common areas for advisories in older crossovers.
This 2011 blue Hyundai ix20 has covered 57,270 miles, which is significantly lower than the typical mileage expected for a 15-year-old vehicle. The MOT history from 2022 to 2025 shows a series of passes, including a clean pass in August 2025 at 57,270 miles. While a failure was recorded on the same day in 2025, no specific defects were documented, suggesting it was a procedural or minor issue resolved immediately.
Specific aggregate reliability data for the Hyundai ix20 is not available, so individual vehicle history must be prioritised.

Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: HYUNDAI IX20
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Track rod end wear and EPS column rattle or heaviness(Serious)
Steering is the ix20's measured weakness: Get Car Wise's MOT analysis finds track rod end ball joints wearing prematurely, with hundreds of tests recording excessive play and even serious-risk-of-detachment categories - far above the people-carrier class average. Fault File records owners reporting a rattle or knock through the electric power steering column plus heavy, inconsistent steering at parking speeds that dealers struggled to cure even with repeated rack and column replacement. It is a cheap part to fix if caught as an advisory (£100-£180 per track rod end) and an MOT failure and safety risk if not.
- CRDi EGR and DPF clogging with software power-loss(Moderate)
The diesel ix20 is the classic urban-mum MPV engine used outside its comfort zone: Fault File records flat spots and lost power under acceleration traced to EGR valve wear, sticking injectors and a DPF that never regenerates on short runs, sometimes letting fuel dilute the sump; Get Car Wise tracks the same blockage as the top diesel concern, with limp mode and expensive cleaning or replacement. RAC's owners' survey adds a distinct twist - at least one pull-away power loss was cured by dealer software, and others reported the stop-start system simply dying.
