2010 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · DU60 GOK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 88,998 miles saw the car fail initially due to a non-functional stop lamp, deteriorated CV boots, and worn brakes. While it passed upon re-test, the presence of pitted and scored brake discs on both axles suggests that the previous owner only addresses faults once they reach the point of failure rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. At 88,998 miles, this sixteen-year-old Hyundai shows low mileage, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. This low usage pattern explains the age-related degradation noted in the records, such as the perishing tyre found in late 2022 and the worn brake noted in 2025. However, the gap between the November 2023 test and the February 2025 test suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods, which often leads to the corrosion and pitting on brake components seen in the latest inspection. A buyer should specifically inspect the front drive shafts to ensure the severely deteriorated CV boots have been replaced and that no grease has leaked onto the surrounding suspension. The recurring mention of brake-related issues, ranging from thin pads to binding calipers and pitting, warrants a close look at the calipers and the condition of the handbrake mechanism. Additionally, the oil leak reported in December 2022 should be verified to ensure it has not worsened over time, as low-mileage vehicles can suffer from seal shrinkage during long periods of disuse.
