2009 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · WN59 WOM

This 2009 Hyundai i20 has a very clean MOT history, having passed its last five tests without any major failures. The most recent test in September 2025 shows a minor advisory regarding a severely deteriorated offside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover. The vehicle's condition trend appears stable. Aside from a nail in a tyre in 2022 and a minor advisory in 2025, the car has consistently passed with no recorded defects for several years. The recent suspension advisory is a common wear item and does not suggest a pattern of neglect, but it does indicate that rubber components are beginning to perish due to age. The recorded mileage of 54,301 is significantly low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging just under 3,200 miles per year. While this suggests light usage, such low annual mileage can be ambiguous; it may mean the car has been well-maintained and lightly used, or it could imply long periods of sitting idle, which can lead to dried-out seals and perished rubber parts. When inspecting the car, your priority should be checking the condition of all rubber components, such as suspension bushings, boot covers, and tyre sidewalls, to ensure age-related deterioration hasn't gone unnoticed. You should also verify the service history to ensure the car has been maintained regularly despite the low mileage. First, inspect the front suspension for any play or noise and check the condition of the tyres and all rubber seals.
