2015 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · EO15 UAW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a persistent issue with braking and rubber components. In the most recent test on July 2025 at 59,167 miles, the car passed with an advisory for the offside hand brake showing low effort. This follows a recurring pattern of braking concerns dating back to 2023, where the vehicle initially failed due to parking brake efficiency and required adjustment. While the immediate failures are resolved, the data suggests the braking mechanism requires consistent monitoring to maintain effectiveness. At 11 years old, the vehicle shows significantly low mileage, recording 59,167 miles which averages to approximately 5,379 miles per year. The history shows a consistent usage pattern, with increments of roughly 3,000 to 4,000 miles between annual tests from 2022 to 2025. This low mileage often results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it frequently correlates with age-related degradation of rubber-based parts that perish due to time rather than mechanical friction. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres and braking assembly. Records from 2022, 2023, and 2024 consistently flagged all four tyres for cracking and perishing, a common symptom of low-use vehicles where the artwork dries out over time. Furthermore, the front inner brake discs were noted as pitted and scored in 2023; the buyer should verify if these have since been replaced and check the handbrake cable for tension or corrosion, given the low effort advisory noted in the latest 2025 report.
