2015 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · DP15 AEA

The vehicle has maintained roadworthiness since the December 2022 test, with no critical defects recorded in the most recent annual inspection at 113,865 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the last four annual tests show consistent passes without recurring major mechanical failures. However, the 2021 failure highlights unresolved brake and tyre issues that may warrant closer scrutiny. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical usage for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging 10,351 miles per year. The jump from 99,015 miles in December 2023 to 113,865 miles in December 2024 suggests a consistent annual mileage pattern of approximately 14,850 miles, slightly above the long-term average. No abrupt spikes or prolonged stagnation are evident, indicating regular use without extreme wear or underutilization. Recurring advisories from 2018 to 2021 indicate persistent issues with tyre wear and brake pad thickness, suggesting either aggressive driving or inadequate maintenance of consumables. The 2021 failure specifically notes worn front brake discs and pads, alongside damaged front tyres, which may point to a need for more frequent inspections of these components. The installation of a large animal cage in 2022 does not affect mechanical integrity but confirms the vehicle’s utility for cargo or pet transport. Buyers should prioritize inspecting the brake system for disc integrity, pad thickness, and signs of overheating or corrosion, given the historical advisories. Tyre tread depth and sidewall condition should be checked thoroughly, as recurring wear patterns suggest potential neglect. While no structural rust or suspension faults are documented, the age of the vehicle warrants a visual check for corrosion around wheel arches and suspension mounting points. The 2021 failure’s brake disc condition, though not critically weakened, may indicate a need for replacement if wear persists.
