Insight summary
Hyundai I20 is a common model in this snapshot, with 112,201 represented vehicles and 0.27% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 78.4% from 767,719 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 50. The current pool shows an average of 68,545 miles and an average age of 11.1 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 75,679 miles. Petrol leads the fuel split, followed by diesel, and the most frequent defect themes are lighting, windscreen damage and battery insecure but not likely to fall from carrier. The practical read is that the Hyundai I20 looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
