You are importing the car to:
Import penalty (malus) in France
- The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
- For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
- The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

⚠ Estimates to treat with caution

- Maintenance: published servicing price plus an estimated allowance for tyres and brakes.
Calculation details (12,000 km a year)
- Fuel (petrol)€160
1.6 125 BVA version: combined consumption of 6.5 L/100 km, increased by 15% for real-world driving, at 2.14 €/L, for 1,000 km a month.
6.5 × 1.15 × 2.14 € × 10 = €160

Inspection checklist
Hyundai ix20 I — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Faire vérifier chez un concessionnaire Hyundai que le rappel du freinage de 2012 a été effectué.
- Essayer l'embrayage à froid et à chaud, surtout au-delà de 140 000 km : broutement, point de patinage, bruit de butée.
- Sur le 1.6 CRDi, écouter le moteur : plusieurs propriétaires le trouvent bruyant et peu souple sous 1 800 tr/min.
- Contrôler la batterie et les systèmes électroniques (caméra de recul, écran audio) : quelques bugs rapportés.
- Exiger le carnet d'entretien : vidange et révision suivies, factures d'embrayage éventuelles.
Questions to ask the seller
- Le rappel du freinage de 2012 a-t-il été effectué ?
- L'embrayage a-t-il déjà été remplacé, et à quel kilométrage ?
- L'entretien a-t-il été suivi dans le réseau Hyundai ? Avez-vous toutes les factures ?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
