2022 Hyundai I20 N T-GDI 1.6L Petrol · WF22 AEC

The vehicle remains roadworthy with no recorded defects in its most recent MOT on 2025-12-08 at 21,918 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, as the prior test on 2025-01-06 at 19,768 miles also showed no issues. No recurring faults or structural concerns were flagged, indicating consistent compliance with safety standards. The absence of advisories or critical failures suggests the car has been maintained to a satisfactory level, though the low mileage raises questions about usage patterns. The vehicle’s mileage of 21,918 miles over four years equates to approximately 5,480 miles annually, significantly below the average for its age. This suggests either limited use or extended periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers due to lack of movement. The 2,150-mile increase between the 2025-01-06 and 2025-12-08 tests occurred over 11 months, reflecting minimal usage. Such a pattern may indicate the car was stored for extended periods, potentially leading to dry rot in rubber components or corrosion in the exhaust system. A buyer should inspect the underbody for rust, particularly around the chassis and exhaust manifold, as low mileage can mask hidden corrosion. Check the suspension for stiffness or unusual play, as infrequent use may cause bushings to harden. Verify brake disc thickness and caliper movement, as static periods can lead to binding. Confirm the battery’s condition, as prolonged inactivity may affect its longevity. While the MOT records show no immediate risks, these areas warrant physical examination to assess long-term wear from reduced operation.
