2017 HYUNDAI I101.2L Petrol

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a successful test on 19 March 2026 at 29,183 miles. While the most recent result shows no defects, the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in consumable upkeep. The car failed the initial test on 19 March 2026 at 29,179 miles due to both front tyres falling below the 1.6mm legal limit and both front brake pads being excessively worn. This indicates that while the vehicle is technically roadworthy now, the previous owner allowed essential wear items to reach the point of failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a 2017 model, averaging approximately 3,243 miles per year. The records show a steady, slow accumulation of distance, moving from 15,696 miles in March 2020 to 29,183 miles in March 2026. This low usage pattern suggests the vehicle has spent significant time stationary or was used for very short local trips. Such usage can sometimes lead to uneven wear on components like tyres and brakes, which aligns with the recent failure regarding tread depth and pad thickness. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front braking system and tyre condition. Although the March 2026 failure was rectified to achieve a pass, the thinness of the pads suggests the discs may have developed uneven wear or scoring. It is also prudent to check the overall condition of the tyres to ensure they are not perishing or showing sidewall cracking, a common issue with low-mileage vehicles that sit idle for long periods. Beyond the consumables, the historical record is largely clean, with only minor issues such as a defective wiper blade in March 2022 and a headlamp aim issue in March 2020. No structural corrosion, suspension component failures, or exhaust emissions problems have appeared in the history. The absence of advisories in the 2024 and 2025 tests suggests that the mechanical integrity of the vehicle has remained stable between the recent service interval lapses.
