2015 Hyundai I20 1.4L Diesel · EO15 ETT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of suspension and braking system wear. In the most recent test in March 2026 at 119,891 miles, the car passed despite multiple advisories regarding the nearside front tyre and front suspension arm bushes. While the vehicle is meeting minimum safety standards, the persistence of mechanical defects across several years suggests that maintenance is reactive rather than preventative, particularly concerning the chassis-related components. The mileage profile is consistent with an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,900 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of mileage, with roughly 12,500 miles covered between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 12,400 miles in the final year leading up to the latest test. This regular usage indicates the vehicle has not sat stationary, but it explains the gradual degradation of age-sensitive parts like rubber bushes and brake hardware noted in the records. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension, as both the arm pins and bushes have been flagged as worn in the 2025 and 2026 tests. The braking system also requires close attention; the history shows a drag on rear wheels in 2024, a binding nearside rear brake in 2025, and imbalanced front brakes that previously led to a failure. These recurring issues suggest potential seized enough or worn slide pins that may require replacement to ensure consistent braking performance. Furthermore, the uneven tyre wear noted in the 2026 test indicates that an alignment check should be performed to prevent furtherages tyre replacement.
