2018 HYUNDAI I101.0L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with an improving trend in maintenance compliance. The most recent inspection conducted in May 2025 at 29,096 miles returned zero defects, suggesting that previous mechanical issues have been addressed effectively. This is a significant improvement over the preceding two years where the vehicle failed to pass initially, indicating that the car currently meets all statutory safety requirements without immediate remedial action. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per annum. Between May 2023 at 22,468 miles and May 2025 at 29,096 miles, the car covered only 6,628 miles. While low mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests can lead to rubber-based components deteriorating or artwork components seizing. The consistency of the testing dates suggests the vehicle is used for short urban trips or sits for extended periods. A buyer should focus on investigating the causes of the failures in 2023 and 2024, as the specific defect details were not provided in the summary but the recurring nature of failing in quick succession often points to minor component wear or lighting adjustments. Given the low usage, a physical inspection should check for brake caliper corrosion or pitted discs, which are common when cars are not driven frequently. Checking the tyre sidewalls for dry-rot cracking is also advisable to ensure the low mileage has not resulted in age-related degradation of the rubber compound.
