2015 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · WT15 NEU

The Hyundai i20’s most recent MOT test on 14 August 2025 confirms it remains roadworthy, with no defects or advisories recorded. Over the past five annual tests—all passing without fail—there is no evidence of recurring mechanical issues or a deteriorating trend. The vehicle’s compliance with emissions, brakes, suspension, and structural integrity has been consistently verified by DVSA testers. However, the 2022 record includes a duplicate entry (23 August 2022) showing a failed test followed by an immediate pass, which may indicate a clerical error or a brief delay in rectifying a minor oversight. No serious advisories or repeated failures appear in the history, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level without major neglect. The recorded mileage of 110,953 miles over approximately 11 years aligns with typical usage for this model, averaging around 10,087 miles annually. There are no significant gaps or spikes in mileage between tests, and the consistent annual intervals imply regular driving rather than prolonged storage. While this pattern does not reveal excessive wear, it also does not confirm proactive servicing beyond MOT compliance. The lack of service records means critical intervals for fluid changes, suspension components, or drivetrain inspections cannot be verified. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear items such as suspension bushes and coil springs, particularly at the rear where binding brakes were not explicitly ruled out in past tests. The absence of advisories does not preclude gradual degradation in these areas, especially given the vehicle’s age. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as should the exhaust system for leaks or structural weakening. Tyre condition, while not flagged, warrants scrutiny—failing twice on tread in prior models suggests this could be a recurring risk. Finally, the underbody and wheel arches should be examined for corrosion, particularly around the suspension mounts and subframe, as this is a common failure point in this class of vehicle.
