2016 Hyundai IX20 1.6L Petrol · YY16 NUB

The vehicle presents an exemplary level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistently clean record across its entire history. The most recent test on 11 March 2026 at 19,696 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This stable trend of perfect passes suggests the car has been maintained to a high standard and shows no signs of mechanical neglect or structural degradation that typically affects a vehicle of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old car, averaging approximately 1,970 miles annually. Data from the 2019 test at 6,536 miles through the 2026 test at 19,696 miles shows a steady, low usage pattern without any sudden spikes in mileage. The interval of roughly 2,000 to 3,000 miles between annual tests indicates the vehicle was likely used for short trips, which minimizes wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to a vehicle subjected to high-intensity commuting. While the MOT record shows no faults, a buyer should focus on risks associated with low-mileage vehicles. Cars sat for long periods often suffer from surface corrosion on brake discs and calipers, as well as perished rubber components like suspension bushes and tyre boots. A physical inspection should check for cracking in the tyre sidewalls, as the rubber has aged ten years despite low tread depth. Additionally, ensuring that fluids have been changed according to time intervals rather than mileage is vital, as oil degrades regardless of miles driven.
