HYUNDAI I302018 · 1.4L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a recent shift toward deferred way maintenance. In the most recent test conducted in February 2026 at 51,073 miles, the car passed with advisories for all four brake pads wearing thin. This represents a significant departure from the previous two years of clean records where no defects or advisories were noted, suggesting that the braking system now requires immediate attention. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in usage between May 2022 (26,564 miles) and May 2023 (32,401 miles), where only roughly 6,000 miles were covered, but the mileage has accelerated since then, with over 18,000 miles clocked between May 2023 and February 2026. This increased frequency of use aligns with the appearance of wear issues, which often lead to faster degradation of rubber components and friction materials. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking assembly, as the recent advisory for thin pads across all axles implies a full service of the system is likely necessary. Given the 2023 report flagged multiple tyres for perishing and cracking, the age and condition of the rubber should be verified for sidewall integrity, even if the tread depth appears sufficient. While no structural corrosion issues or suspension faults have been highlighted in the history, the transition from clean records to multi-point advisories suggests the vehicle is entering a phase where consumable components require more frequent replacement.
