2009 Hyundai I20 1.4L Petrol · AV59 VMP

The 2026-06-18 test at 70,738 miles has been passed, but the MOT record indicates a clear deterioration trend in suspension geometry and structural integrity. The tester flagged binding rear brakes on the 2023-09-28 test at 70,374 miles, a condition that has persisted and worsened through the 2022-09-09 test at 64,698 miles. This progressive failure of the rear suspension and brake assembly suggests that the vehicle has not undergone adequate maintenance since the 2023-09-28 test, leading to a significant increase in the risk of future failure. The mileage accumulation is substantial, averaging approximately 4,161 miles per year, which is consistent with the vehicle's age of roughly 17 years. While the total mileage is low relative to the vehicle's age, the rapid accumulation of wear on the front and rear tyres indicates that the vehicle has been driven with a high degree of frequency. The gaps between MOT dates (2025, 2024, 2023) and the 2022-09-09 test reveal a lack of proactive tyre wear monitoring, as the tyres have been approaching their wear limits without replacement. Consequently, the vehicle is not roadworthy for normal driving at this mileage due to the recurring issues with suspension bushings, coil springs, and brake discs. The buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural integrity of the chassis and suspension components, as well as for corrosion on the brake discs and exhaust emissions. If the vehicle is to be driven, it must be inspected by a qualified professional immediately to assess the condition of the brake pads and suspension bushings, as the current wear patterns indicate that the vehicle is in a state of high risk of failure.
