2017 HYUNDAI I101.0L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows signs of worsening regarding specific consumable wear. While it passed its most recent test in June 2026, the appearance of oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber alongside a worn offside rear tyre indicates emerging mechanical issues. This follows a recurring pattern where components are only addressed once they approach failure limits rather than proactively. The mileage pattern is notably low for a nine-year-old car, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. The data shows consistent, gradual accumulation, moving from 30,621 miles in 2022 to 50,300 miles in 2026. This low usage generally suggests less mechanical strain on the engine and drivetrain, though it can sometimes lead to issues like dry rubber seals or corrosion if the vehicle is not driven regularly over longer distances. A buyer should perform a close inspection of the wheel alignment, as the history repeatedly flags tyres as being worn close to the limit or specifically on the edges across multiple years. This suggests a persistent suspension or tracking fault that needs resolving to prevent premature tyre failure. Additionally, the braking system should be checked thoroughly; previous tests noted pitted and scored rear brake discs, and the recent shock absorber misting should be monitored to ensure it does not progress into a full leak.
