2011 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · WJ11 ABF

The 2011 Hyundai i20 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 7 August 2025 at 177,704 miles with no defects recorded. Three consecutive annual passes from August 2022 through August 2025 show no advisories or mechanical faults raised by testers. The vehicle's test history indicates consistent statutory compliance rather than deferred repairs. Recorded mileage rose from 139,787 in the August 2022 test to 177,704 by August 2025, an accumulation of 37,917 miles over three years or roughly 12,600 miles annually. This aligns with the vehicle's 15-year life average of 11,847 miles per year and reflects typical private-use patterns. The DVSA data contains no gaps exceeding twelve months between tests, and the only blemish is a fail on 27 July 2023 at 158,107 miles with no defects listed, corrected by a pass on 9 August 2023 at 158,477 miles, suggesting an administrative or emissions retest rather than a substantive mechanical defect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the mileage now exceeds 177,000. The clean MOT record means testers logged no corrosion or structural integrity concerns across the period, but high-mileage i20 platforms commonly develop worn track-rod ends and degraded exhaust hangers not always captured in a pass result. Verify the 2023 fail paperwork to confirm no latent fault was masked by the rapid retest eleven days later. Pre-purchase checks should include measuring actual tyre tread depth and examining the underbody for rust around sills and subframes. The owner maintained test currency without lapse, implying reasonable statutory care, yet the absence of any advisories across 38,000 miles is unusual and warrants scrutiny of whether consumable wear was genuinely absent or simply not noted.
