2015 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · WM15 VOT

The 2015 Hyundai I20 presents a stable and improving mechanical trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 18 September 2025 at 67,201 miles with zero defects recorded. While the record shows failed tests on 6 October 2023 and 27 September 2024, both occurring at the exact same mileages as their respective subsequent passes, the immediate retests passed without any recorded defects. This pattern indicates that any issues causing the initial failures were minor and promptly rectified, rather than representing persistent or worsening mechanical faults. The annual mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical light-use patterns for an eleven-year-old vehicle. Between 6 October 2023 at 51,991 miles and 27 September 2024 at 57,901 miles, the car covered 5,910 miles. The following year, up to the 18 September 2025 test at 67,201 miles, saw a slightly higher accumulation of 9,300 miles. Overall, the 67,201 recorded miles equate to roughly 6,109 miles per year, reflecting lower-than-average usage that typically spares drivetrain and brake consumables but demands attention to perishable components degraded by age rather than wear. Because the supplied MOT data lists no specific defects for the failed tests, pinpointing recurring mechanical faults from the record alone is impossible. A buyer must focus on a thorough physical inspection of components susceptible to age-related deterioration on a low-mileage vehicle. Prioritize checking the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing, and inspect brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion caused by standing. Examine the exhaust system for corrosion and verify the structural integrity of the underbody and sills. Although the current MOT record is clean, the gap since the last test warrants a close inspection of tyre tread depth and condition, as well as ensuring all lighting and wiper components remain fully operational.
