2013 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · YP13 NNL

The 2013 Hyundai i20 currently holds a valid MOT certificate, having passed its most recent test on 17 January 2026 at 88,564 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend remains stable, though the record shows an unusual anomaly just seven days prior. On 10 January 2026 at 88,377 miles, the vehicle failed despite no defects being listed. This pattern strongly indicates an administrative error or a minor, swiftly rectified issue, such as a blown bulb or registration plate obscurity, rather than a recurring mechanical fault. The absence of any advisories or defects across the documented history points to a vehicle that has been kept in sound mechanical order. Mileage accumulation aligns closely with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 6,813 miles per year. Between the January 2024 test at 64,888 miles and the January 2025 test at 76,699 miles, the car covered 11,811 miles. The following year, up to the January 2026 test at 88,564 miles, it accrued 11,865 miles. This consistent annual progression indicates regular, steady use rather than prolonged standing or sudden high-mileage trips. The MOT history is complete with no gaps, confirming the vehicle has met its annual testing requirements without interruption. Despite the clean MOT record, a 13-year-old supermini demands a thorough physical inspection. Buyers should examine the structural integrity of the underbody and suspension mounts, checking for corrosion common in older vehicles of this type. Inspect the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for wear consistent with nearly 89,000 miles. Brake discs and pads require close scrutiny for scoring or uneven wear, even if the recent test passed without advisories. Given the peculiar failed test on 10 January 2026 with no recorded defects, verifying the operation and alignment of all exterior lights and the condition of the number plates is prudent. Tyre tread depth and sidewall condition should also be checked, as consumable replacements often fall between MOT dates.
