Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a small petrol hatchback with a relatively clean recent MOT record. The vehicle has avoided major mechanical failures in its most recent tests, though buyers should still verify its service history.
When inspecting this specific i20, check the service history to see how the 1.2L engine has been maintained, as the MOT only records safety and emissions compliance. While the most recent MOT in early 2026 showed no defects, you should look for evidence of regular oil changes and brake inspections.
Negotiate based on the mileage; at over 74,000 miles, it has been driven significantly more than the aggregate model average. Ensure the owner can provide documentation for any work carried out following the February 2025 failure to ensure the issue was fully resolved.
The 1248cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group, making it an affordable option for newer or budget-conscious drivers. Fuel economy for this era of i20 is typically moderate for a small hatchback, suitable for mixed urban and motorway driving.
Maintenance costs for this model tend to be predictable, though you should budget for standard consumables like tyres and brake pads. Given the age of the vehicle, expect annual running costs to include routine servicing and standard MOT preparation.
Focus your inspection on the braking system and lighting, as these are common failure points for the Hyundai i20 model according to aggregate data. While this specific vehicle had no defects in its 2026 test, the model's history suggests checking brake pipes and headlamps.
Additionally, check the condition of the windscreen wipers and the integrity of the windscreen, as these have been noted as top failure reasons for this model type. Given the mileage, also inspect the suspension components and tyre tread depth to ensure they meet safety standards.
This 2013 red Hyundai i20 features a 1.2L petrol engine and has covered 74,726 miles as of its last MOT in January 2026. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing, with only one recorded failure in February 2025 at 68,385 miles. Its mileage is higher than the model average of 6,165 per year, reflecting more frequent use.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 80.7% MOT pass rate, with common issues relating to brake pipes, wipers, and headlamps.
