2010 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · ET59 FFL

The vehicle's roadworthiness is currently poor, showing a worsening trend in mechanical neglect. The most recent test on 21 May 2026 at 92,713 miles resulted in a significant failure with twelve separate major faults across multiple critical systems. While the car passed in June 2025, the subsequent failure reveals that serious issues including corroded brake pipes, worn joints, and drive shaft failures were not addressed. This suggests a pattern of reactive repairs only when immediate MOT failure rather than proactive preventative maintenance. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 92,713 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. This low usage profile usually suggests less wear, but the data indicates the vehicle has suffered from age-related degradation. Between June 2024 and May 2026, the car covered 9,463 miles, yet the condition of rubber components deteriorated. The presence of perished tyres and split CV boots suggests the vehicle likely sits for long periods, allowing materials to dry and crack despite the low distance driven. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The record shows a persistent history of corrosion on brake hoses and pipes, which escalated from slight corrosion in 2024 to excessive corrosion and leaks recently. The front suspension is also compromised, with excessive play noted in both track rod ends, anti-roll bar linkages, and suspension arm ball joints. Additionally, the offside outer drive shaft joint requires immediate replacement due to a split boot and internal wear, which will lead to mechanical failure if left ignored.
