2012 Hyundai IX20 1.4L Petrol · FD62 OAB

The vehicle holds a valid MOT certificate until August 2026, yet the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding braking system integrity. The record shows a failure on 7 August 2025 at 99,687 miles due to an inoperative offside parking brake and a binding offside rear service brake, alongside worn front pads and tyres. A retest the following day resulted in a pass, but the persistence of thin front brake pads and inner-edge tyre wear suggests the owner addressed the mechanical failures to secure a certificate while leaving significant consumable wear for the next keeper. Mileage accumulation appears consistent with average usage, recording approximately 5,150 miles between the August 2024 and August 2025 tests. The odometer reached 99,695 miles by the most recent inspection, which aligns with typical wear for a 14-year-old vehicle. There are no significant gaps in the testing frequency, and the car is approaching its next MOT deadline in roughly two months. Recurring advisories on inner-edge tyre wear since 2023 indicate a potential tracking or suspension geometry fault that requires professional alignment checks. The braking system demands close scrutiny, as the tester reported corroded and pitted discs on all four corners in August 2024, followed by a parking brake failure in 2025. Although the rear coil spring corrosion noted in 2023 and 2024 did not appear in the latest pass, the structural integrity of the suspension should be physically inspected for rust advancement.
