So some of the issues I faced were as follows:

Thank You! Yes, 140k Km is a lot but the car has been very reliable till now. I've already rectified the wiper motor and EPS issue. I purchased the wiper motor from a local mechanic for Rs.2k (1500 motor + 500 installation). That has been holding up well for the last 2 years. For the EPS issue, i gave the car to ASC since i thought it was a little complex job. They charged 8k for the whole thing. This was 2020 (just after the lockdown). Now I'll just have to lookout for rusting issues that you mentioned. Thanks for the suggestions.

i20 is also known for its ECM failure. Do watch out for that as well.

Any particular reason for this ECM failure?

Do check out some of the older posts from this thread (search 'ECM'):

I am not sure about the reason for failure but it seemed like a common issue at around 120k kms. So it was always at the back of my mind as the car almost completed a decade.
