2011 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · EX61 YHD

The vehicle is currently technically roadworthy but exhibits a worsening trend regarding structural and mechanical degradation. While it passed its most recent test in August 2025 at 112,683 miles, the record reveals a persistent progression of corrosion-related faults. The tester identified corrosion on the front sub-frame, rear axle, and suspension arms which, while not yet classified as seriously weakened, the repeated reoccurrence of these issues across multiple years indicates that the underlying oxidation is advancing rather than being treated or Prevented. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. The jump from 92,315 miles in August 2022 to 112,683 miles in August 2025 shows a steady usage rate of roughly 6,800 miles per annum. This regular use suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often accelerates brake seizing, but it also accounts for the consistent wear on rubber components and metal surfaces noted in the history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody to assess the depth of the rust. The history shows a recurring failure to address corroded brake pipes, which have been flagged on all four wheels in 2022, 2023, and 2025. The presence of grease or material covering these pipes suggests an attempt to mask the corrosion rather than replace the components. Furthermore, the deterioration of the nearside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover in 2025 indicates that rubber components are now reaching the end of their functional life and will require imminent attention to prevent a mechanical failure.
