2010 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · WF10 ACU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-10 at 61,243 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. The prior 2025-03-21 test at 58,351 miles also passed, though the 2024-10-07 test at 58,335 miles failed without recorded defects. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative or procedural issues rather than mechanical deterioration. The absence of defects in the last two passes implies the car has maintained acceptable standards, but the 2024 failure warrants scrutiny to confirm whether it was aFalse positive or an oversight. The mileage of 61,243 miles over 16 years equates to approximately 3,828 miles annually, a low figure that may indicate infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity. The MOT records show irregular intervals, with a 22-month gap between the 2022-03-22 test (57,912 miles) and the 2024-10-07 test (58,335 miles), followed by a 7-month gap to the 2025-03-21 test. This pattern suggests inconsistent maintenance practices, though no major issues were flagged. The minimal mileage growth between 2024 and 2025 tests (16 miles) raises questions about the vehicle’s operational history, potentially reflecting storage or limited use. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask age-related fatigue in these components. The exhaust system and emissions controls should also be checked, as prolonged inactivity may lead to corrosion or carbon buildup. Structural integrity, particularly underbody corrosion, is critical given the vehicle’s age, though no rust-related defects were recorded. The absence of brake or tyre-related issues in the MOTs is positive, but a physical inspection is recommended to confirm the condition of brake discs, calipers, and tyre tread, which may not be fully assessed during MOT tests.
