2016 HYUNDAI I101.2L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive pattern of repair rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 95,878 miles resulted in a pass, the preceding failure highlighted multiple critical issues including worn front brake pads, a pitted rear brake disc, and an oil leak from a corroded filter. This trend suggests the owner tends to address faults only once they trigger an MOT failure, rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance between tests. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per year. The record shows steady usage over the years, moving from 33,772 miles in late 2019 to 95,878 miles by late 2025. There are no significant gaps in testing that would suggest the car sat stationary for long periods, but the recurring failures regarding tyres and brake components indicate that the vehicle is driven until parts reach the absolute end of their functional service life before being replaced. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system and suspension components. The history shows a persistent issue with thin brake pads and scored discs across multiple tests in 2022, 2023, and 2025, which may indicate a tendency for uneven wear or sticking calipers. The oil leak noted in the December 2025 test requires a physical check to ensure it is truly limited to the filter housing and not a more significant engine-related failure. Additionally, the repeated failures for distorted wheels and exposed tyre cords in in 2019 and 2024 suggest the wheels and suspension geometry may have suffered significant stress or impact.
