2020 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · EX70 ORK

This Hyundai i20 has covered 56,883 miles over six years, which represents a typical annual usage pattern. While the mileage is consistent with the age of the vehicle, the MOT history suggests a concerning trend regarding maintenance and component longevity. The vehicle's condition appears to be worsening, particularly regarding the braking system and tyres. While the car passed its most recent MOT in February 2026, it did so only after a failure the previous day due to illegal tyre tread depth. The recurring advisories for pitted and scored brake discs across multiple years indicate that the braking components are consistently wearing out or corroding faster than expected, suggesting either a lower quality of replacement parts or a driving style that places heavy demand on the friction surfaces. A persistent pattern of minor defects has emerged since 2024, including recurring advisories for brake discs, suspension bush wear, shock absorber misting, and oil leaks. The presence of oil leaks—noted in both 2024 and 2025—alongside suspension and brake advisories, points to a vehicle that has required frequent attention to keep it roadworthy. The fact that the car failed its most recent test due to tyre condition suggests that the current owner may be deferring necessary maintenance until the absolute last moment. The mileage does not indicate extreme use, but the frequency of these mechanical advisories suggests that the car has not been maintained to a high standard. The recurring nature of the brake disc issues is a particular red flag, as this component should typically have a longer service life than what is being recorded here.
