2011 Hyundai Iload 2.5L Diesel · CP11 VHR

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding hydraulic corrosion. While it passed its most recent test in September 2025 at 90,365 miles, the tester identified a corroded nearside rear brake pipe covered in grease. This follows a failure in October 2023 at 80,087 miles where both front brake pipes were flagged for similar corrosion. This progression suggests an ongoing issue with steel brake lines rather than an isolated incident. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between November 2021 and September 2025, the vehicle covered 16,190 miles, indicating steady, low-intensity usage. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests is standard, showing the owner has maintained a regular annual testing schedule. However, low annual mileage on a vehicle this age often accelerates the degradation of rubber components and metal surfaces, which aligns with the issues seen in the braking system. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the entire braking system to ensure the corrosion noted in the records has not compromised the structural integrity of the lines. The presence of grease on the pipes often indicates an attempt to mask rust or hide a leak, so these should be checked for weeping fluid joints. Additionally, the offside front headlamp lens has been a recurring defect for three consecutive tests since 2023, indicating the plastic is likely perished or cracked and should eventually be replaced to ensure optimal light output.
