2010 Hyundai I20 1.4L Petrol · FV10 ABN

Recurring corrosion and wear to the steering and suspension systems define the mechanical history of this vehicle. While it passed its last inspection on 11 June 2026, the record shows a trend of deteriorating components, including a failure in June 2025 for a dangerous tyre and corroded brake hose ferrules. The most recent advisories regarding steering rack inner joint play and pitted rear brake discs indicate ongoing wear in the chassis and braking systems. A total of 55,020 miles over sixteen years represents a low annual average of approximately 3,439 miles. This usage pattern often correlates with vehicles that have spent significant periods stationary, which is evidenced by the 2025 recording of a tyre perishing to the cord. Low mileage on a vehicle of this age can result in the degradation of rubber components and the onset of corrosion due to lack of regular heat cycles and movement. Particular attention must be paid to the steering and suspension during a physical inspection. The recorded play in the steering rack inner joints should be checked for any vague response or knocking sensations through the steering wheel when turning at low speeds. The history of Macpherson strut corrosion and top bush wear suggests a need to listen for clunks or creaks when navigating uneven road surfaces or during compression of the front suspension. The braking system shows a pattern of corrosion and wear that requires scrutiny. With previous flags for corroded brake pipes and ferrules, and the current advisories for pitted and scored rear discs, a thorough check of the underbody for surface rust on brake lines is necessary. During a test drive, feel for any unusual vibrations or judder under braking, which may be linked to the condition of the rear discs.
