2009 Hyundai I20 1.4L Petrol · WV09 AFX

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2022-01-26 at 180,079 miles showed no defects, but the absence of subsequent records raises concerns. A prior test on 2022-01-25 at 180,078 miles recorded a failure with no defects listed, suggesting a possible administrative error or minimal issues. The trend since 2018 shows consistent passing with no critical failures, but the four-year gap since the last test indicates a lack of recent oversight. This absence of updated data complicates assessing current roadworthiness, as components like brakes, suspension, or exhaust may have degraded without inspection. Mileage progression aligns with average annual usage, but the two-year interval between 2020-09-02 (176,364 miles) and 2022-01-26 (180,079 miles) reveals a slow accumulation of 3,715 miles. This suggests potential infrequent use or periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on stationary components such as rubber seals, batteries, or brake calipers. The lack of MOTs between 2022 and 2026 further limits visibility into maintenance trends, leaving key systems unverified. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as these often degrade with age. Brake components, including discs and calipers, require scrutiny for uneven wear or corrosion, particularly if the vehicle was stored. The exhaust system should also be checked for rust, as prolonged inactivity can lead to internal corrosion. While the MOT history shows no major defects, the absence of recent tests necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
