2018 Hyundai I20 1.4L Petrol · EN67 FUG

Chronic wear of the braking system defines the mechanical history of this vehicle, characterized by a persistent pattern of worn brake discs appearing as advisories across the last three annual inspections. This trend follows a dangerous failure in April 2023 due to front brake pads worn below 1.5mm, and while the vehicle passed its most recent test on 2026-04-07, the continued presence of worn front and rear discs indicates a component lifecycle that is nearing its limit. With 105,529 miles recorded over approximately eight years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 13,191 miles per year. This usage rate is high for this class of vehicle and implies accelerated wear on high-friction consumables, drivetrain components, and suspension bushings compared to a lower-mileage example. The consistent annual testing interval suggests the vehicle has remained in active service without significant periods of dormancy. A physical inspection should focus heavily on the condition of the brake discs and pads, as the recurring advisories suggest they are nearing the end of their service life. During a test drive, the buyer should feel for any pedal judder or pulsation under braking, which can indicate warped or excessively worn discs. The previous dangerous failure for brake pad thickness necessitates a verification of the current pad depth to ensure they have been replaced and are not again approaching the legal limit. Attention should also be paid to the electrical systems and tyres. The most recent advisory regarding a non-functional offside front daytime running lamp should be verified, and the previous record of a perishing nearside rear tyre suggests a need to check all tyre sidewalls for similar cracking. Listen for any knocks or clunks from the suspension during low-speed maneuvers, as the high mileage increases the likelihood of wear in the suspension arms and bushings.
