2019 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · EG68 FBC

The seven-year-old Hyundai i20 demonstrates a functional roadworthiness status supported by a clean pass on 31 December 2025 at 44,247 miles, though the maintenance trend shows recurring neglect of basic consumables. The record reflects consecutive annual failures prior to passing, with the vehicle failing on 2 November 2023 due to electrical faults and brake wear, and again on 11 December 2024 due to dangerously thin brake pads. This pattern indicates that previous owners waited until mandatory testing exposed component exhaustion rather than servicing items proactively, though all failure points were rectified promptly to secure a pass. Accumulating 44,247 miles over seven years yields an average of roughly 6,321 miles annually, representing typical domestic use for this class of hatchback. The test frequency is regular and unbroken, showing annual inspections conducted every November and December from 2023 through 2025. Mileage increments between tests remain consistent at approximately 5,436 miles from November 2023 to December 2024, followed by 4,650 miles through December 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle experienced consistent urban or suburban running without extended periods of inactivity that might otherwise cause corrosion or mechanical seizure. Prospective buyers must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, given that friction material and disc condition feature on every single test in the history. The December 2025 test lists thin rear inner brake pads, pitted rear brake discs, and three tyres worn close to the legal limit, building directly upon persistent advisories for binding rear brakes and worn discs noted in 2023 and 2024. Negotiating a pre-purchase price reduction to cover immediate replacement of all four tyres and a complete front and rear brake overhaul is strongly advised.
