2014 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · AY14 TWC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward worsening mechanical neglect. While it passed its most recent test on 20 June 2026 at 62,002 miles, it failed just days prior with multiple defects. The presence of an inoperative engine malfunction indication light during that failure is a significant concern as it suggests a critical diagnostic system was either bypassed or ignored. This contrasts with a period of clean records between 2022 and 2024. The mileage profile is consistently low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,167 miles per year. There is a notable period of inactivity between February 2020 and March 2021, where the car covered only 564 miles. Since then, usage has increased, jumping from 28,370 miles in early 2021 to 62,002 miles in the present day. This low-mile pattern often leads to the degradation of rubber components due to age, as evidenced by the perished and cracked tyres recorded in 2019. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The 2026 test flagged worn front lower suspension arm bushes and pitted or scored brake discs, following an advisory for thin brake pads in 2025. These recurring issues indicate that the owner is reacting to faults only upon failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. Furthermore, a professional diagnostic scan is required to verify why the engine management light was inoperative and to ensure underlying sensor faults were not simply cleared without repair.
