2013 HYUNDAI I101.2L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs on specific mechanical components. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 21,070 miles, it had failed that same session due to a non-functional stop lamp and washer system. The persistence of corroded rear brake pipes across multiple tests from 2024 to 2025 suggests that the owner addresses only immediate failure points rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,600 miles per year. Between September 2023 at 16,934 miles and October 2024 at 19,802 miles, the car covered only 2,868 miles. This low usage explains the minimal wear on the engine and drivetrain but directly correlates with the degradation of rubber-based components, as evidenced by the recurring advisories for perishing tyres and cracked suspension dust covers seen throughout the record. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The October 2024 failure flagged torn ball joint dust covers and a missing steering rack gaiter, both of which allow moisture and grit to cause premature component failure. The recurring corrosion on the rear brake pipes, noted as covered in grease, requires a physical check to ensure the metal is not thinning to the point of structural weakness. Given the age and low mileage, the tyres should be checked for deep sidewall cracking regardless of tread depth, as the tester has flagged them for perishing in three consecutive years.
