2016 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · WG16 RBX

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its most recent 2025 MOT at 25,886 miles. All prior tests from 2020 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The absence of advisories or failures across six consecutive MOTs suggests the car has been well-maintained, with no recurring faults in critical systems like brakes, suspension, or emissions. The mileage of 25,886 miles over 10 years equates to approximately 2,589 annual miles, significantly lower than average usage. This pattern implies infrequent use or periods of inactivity, which can lead to component stiffness or fluid degradation. Notably, the 2024 test at 22,874 miles preceded a 3,012-mile increase by 2025, suggesting sporadic operation. While the MOT history is clean, the sparse data from 2020 to 2022—spanning 13,938 to 16,994 miles—raises questions about potential gaps in monitoring during extended periods of low usage. A buyer should inspect for signs of prolonged inactivity, such as hardened suspension bushes, corroded brake calipers, or degraded rubber components. The low mileage may mask wear in systems like the exhaust or cooling, which can deteriorate when not regularly used. Visual checks for rust on the chassis and underbody, along with a test drive to assess brake responsiveness and suspension smoothness, are recommended. The MOT record confirms no immediate risks, but the vehicle’s usage history warrants careful evaluation of its mechanical condition.
