2010 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · CD10 FUZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the recent maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding mechanical wear and component degradation. While it passed its MOT in April 2026 at 56,684 miles, this followed a failure just three days prior due to a structural tyre failure and a blown bulb. The most recent test also flagged play in the offside steering rack inner joints and a binding offside rear brake, indicating that the vehicle is now entering a phase where significant components are failing simultaneously despite the low mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 16-year-old car, averaging approximately 3,543 miles per year. This low usage is evident in the progression from 16,788 miles in 2014 to 56,684 miles in early 2026. However, the lack of use has clearly caused age-related deterioration. The record shows patterns of tyre perishing and cracking from 2015 through to 2025, suggesting the rubber compounds are breaking down due to time rather than tread wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the steering system, as the recurring issues with the steering rack inner joints and a missing gaiter in 2023 suggest potential long-term steering column wear. The braking system requires close attention; the history shows persistent binding rear brakes across 2025 and 2026, combined with thin pads, which points to a seized caliper or sticking slider pins. Additionally, the corrosion on all four brake pipes noted in 2020 should be visually verified to ensure that structural thinning has not progressed despite the previous pass.
