2021 Hyundai I20 Ultimate Mhev T-GDI Auto 1.0L Hybrid electric · YX71 TKT

This Hyundai i20 presents a clean and stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 16 April 2026 at 28,195 miles passed with zero defects, a strong indicator that the vehicle is currently in sound mechanical and structural order. The trajectory shows an improving condition, as the advisories noted in the previous test have been fully resolved. The mileage profile is notably low for a 2021 vehicle. At 28,195 miles over roughly five years, the annual average sits at approximately 5,639 miles. The record shows a gap of 5,576 miles between September 2024 and April 2026, a period of nearly 19 months. This suggests the vehicle saw very light use or may have stood idle for extended periods during that timeframe. While low mileage generally reduces wear on drivetrain and suspension components, prolonged standing can cause its own issues, such as flat-spotted tyres, brake disc surface corrosion, or dried-out rubber seals. The September 2025 test at 26,014 miles flagged both front inner tyres worn close to legal limits and worn on the edges. This is a classic symptom of a tracking or alignment issue rather than simple neglect, as inner edge wear typically points to excessive negative camber. The fact that no tyre defects appeared in the April 2026 test suggests the tyres were replaced and the alignment fault may have been addressed. A buyer should still verify the date stamps on all four tyres and check for even tread wear to confirm the geometry is correct. The September 2024 advisory regarding an under-tray fitted is minor and common, but it does mean a recent visual inspection of the underside was restricted. A prospective buyer should request a ramp inspection to check for corrosion on the subframe, suspension mounts, and exhaust system, particularly given the vehicle's potential periods of inactivity. Brake condition, fluid levels, and the health of the mild hybrid system's battery and belt should also be verified in person.
