2017 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · EF67 ACJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having achieved a clean pass in its most recent test in November 2025 at 67,235 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of stability following a failure in late 2024. While the history indicates recurring issues with brake components and tyres, the lack of defects in the last two tests suggests that the previous owner has addressed the mechanical concerns as they were flagged. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. There is a notable increase of over 13,000 miles between November 2023 and November 2024, followed by another 15,000-mile interval leading to the 2025 test. This steady usage suggests the car is driven regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals and mechanical components, though it explains the consistent wear on consumable items seen in the record. A buyer should focus their inspection on the braking system, as the record shows a history of neglect here. The 2024 failure for thin offside front inner brake pads and axle imbalance, combined with 2022 advisories regarding thin rear inner pads, indicates a pattern of uneven wear or delayed replacement. A physical inspection should check for excessive scoring on the brake discs and ensure that the calipers are not sticking, which previously caused an imbalance. The MOT history also highlights recurring issues with tyre management. Advisories in 2021 and 2023 flagged tyres worn to the legal limit or on the edges, which often points to incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. While the recent tests show no such defects, the buyer should verify the current tyre condition for even wear and inspect the suspension components for signs of play to ensure these previous issues have not returned.
