Our Verdict
This is a sensible used buy with a strong, consistent MOT record and no failures across its life. The only minor note is a worn front tyre flagged in 2021, which has not recurred, so confidence in the car's condition is high.
Given the clean MOT record, focus your negotiation on price and proof of routine servicing rather than outstanding defects. Ask for the full service history for this specific car (WV18ACU) to confirm the 1.2-litre petrol engine has been maintained on schedule, as no model-level reliability data is available to fall back on. The 2021 advisory for nearside front tyre wear close to the legal limit suggests the car may have been used on tighter corners or with infrequent rotation, so check how recently tyres were last replaced.
The 1248cc petrol engine in this i20 is a small, economical unit, and with annual mileage around 8,000 miles based on the MOT records, fuel costs should remain modest. As a 2018 petrol car under 1.3 litres, it will fall into a low VED band, though exact insurance group and tax figures are not provided in the data. Typical maintenance for a Hyundai of this size is generally affordable, and with no MOT failures the car should not carry unexpected repair bills in the near term.
The MOT history shows only one advisory: on 2021-09-14 the nearside front tyre was worn close to the legal limit on the edge (2.9mm). Inspect all four tyres for even wear and confirm they have been replaced since, as edge wear can indicate alignment or suspension issues that should be checked. Beyond that, verify the bodywork on this blue example for parking marks and confirm the 66,447-mile odometer reading matches the latest 2025 MOT certificate.
The 2018 Hyundai i20 (WV18ACU) is a blue 1.2-litre petrol hatchback first registered in March 2018 with a clean MOT history, passing every test from 2021 to 2025. Recorded mileage has risen steadily from 33,425 miles in September 2021 to 66,447 miles in September 2025, averaging roughly 8,000 miles per year. With no model aggregate data available, the assessment rests on this vehicle's own history, which shows only one minor tyre wear advisory and no defects since.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Hyundai i20, so this guide relies solely on the individual history of WV18ACU.
