2017 Hyundai I20 1.4L Petrol · EO67 OSL

A history of deteriorating rear braking efficiency defines this vehicle's record, culminating in a dangerous failure in October 2024 due to brake pads worn below 1.5mm and pitted rear discs. This followed an advisory for thinning pads in 2023, indicating a period where braking consumables were not addressed until they reached a critical safety limit. The record shows a subsequent recovery, with the latest test on 2025-10-27 resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. The recorded mileage of 68,332 miles over approximately nine years reflects a typical usage pattern of roughly 7,592 miles per annum. This steady rate of accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than standing for long periods, meaning wear on the drivetrain and suspension components is likely consistent with its age. There are no significant gaps in the testing history or sudden spikes in mileage that would indicate unusual duty cycles. Attention should be directed toward the rear braking system and front suspension during a physical inspection. While the 2024 failure was resolved, the previous mention of pitted and scored rear discs suggests a need to verify the current condition of the discs and pads to ensure no premature wear has returned. On a test drive, feel for any pedal judder or uneven deceleration, which could indicate warped discs or binding calipers. The recurring mention of under trays and engine covers hindering full inspections across multiple years is a point of note. These panels can mask oil leaks or structural corrosion on the subframe and chassis. A prospective buyer should request that these trays be lowered or inspected thoroughly for signs of oil misting, specifically around the offside front shock absorber which was flagged for oil leakage in 2023, and check for any knocks or instability over bumps that would suggest the shock absorber has further deteriorated.
