2011 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · DA60 CWW

This 2011 Hyundai i20 has a low recorded mileage of 79,646 miles, averaging roughly 5,310 miles per year. While this suggests lighter use, it can also indicate periods of standing, which often correlates with the corrosion issues seen in the recent history. The vehicle's condition trend is worsening, specifically regarding the braking system. While the 2024 and 2025 tests were relatively minor, the January 2026 MOT shows a significant decline. The car failed on multiple critical safety items, including inoperative parking brakes, poor service brake efficiency, and excessive binding on the front and rear brakes. The most concerning pattern is the corrosion of the rear brake pipes. Although the vehicle passed its most recent test on 2026-01-29, the notes indicate the corroded pipes were covered in grease or other material to pass. This is a temporary measure rather than a permanent repair and suggests an underlying rust problem. A buyer should first inspect the condition of the brake pipes and the overall underside of the chassis for corrosion. You should also verify that the brakes are operating smoothly without binding and ensure the parking brake is fully functional and holding firmly.
