2009 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · WN59 OCO

The vehicle's MOT history indicates a clear deterioration trend, with the most recent test on 2025-07-23 showing a PASSED status at 110,812 miles. This date is approximately 14 months prior to today, placing the vehicle in a period of rapid mileage accumulation that is typical for an older model. The test date is also significantly older than the 2024-07-24 and 2023-08-22 tests, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained for less than a year and has experienced frequent, repeated failures. The maintenance history reveals a pattern of consistent wear and tear across multiple components, with a notable gap between the 2025 and 2024 tests. The 2025 test was passed, but the 2024 test immediately failed on a headlamp issue, followed by another failure on the same date. This sequence of failures suggests that basic upkeep was skipped or that the owner relied on a temporary solution rather than regular preventative maintenance. The 2023 test also failed on a headlamp, indicating that the vehicle has been tested multiple times without addressing the same critical issues repeatedly. Based on the recurring faults, the buyer should inspect the suspension bushings and ball joints, the brake discs and calipers, and the exhaust system for corrosion or structural integrity. The 2023 test specifically flagged a severely deteriorated suspension arm ball joint lower arm, which is a serious structural risk that could lead to sudden failure. Additionally, the 2023 test reported a pitted or scored brake disc, which, while not seriously weakened, indicates that the brake system has been tested multiple times without adequate lubrication or replacement. The 2025 test noted a worn inner edge of the front tyre, which is a consumable wear item that should be addressed immediately if the vehicle is to be driven frequently.
