2015 Hyundai I20 1.4L Petrol · FE15 EDC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent inspection indicates a shift toward a worsening maintenance trend. While the car passed three consecutive tests without defects, the February 26, 2026 test at 59,014 miles introduced multiple advisories that suggest a lapse in proactive care. The report of a parking brake that barely met the legal threshold alongside immediate tyre issues indicates that the current owner may be deferring essential maintenance until failure occurs. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 59,014 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 5,365 miles per year. The data shows consistent low usage patterns between January 2023 and July 2024, where the vehicle covered only 4,881 miles. However, the gap between March 2025 and February 2026 shows a period of relative inactivity. Such low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components, which is evidenced by the cracking and perishing noted on the offside rear tyre. A buyer must physically inspect the braking system to address the parking brake efficiency flagged in the latest MOT. The tester specifically noted a need for adjustment or repair, which often points to seized cables or worn adjustment mechanisms common in cars that sit. Furthermore, the uneven wear on the inner edge of the offside front tyre suggests an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require immediate attention to prevent further damage. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for corrosion on the undercarriage is also necessary, as low-mileage cars can suffer from structural rust if stored in damp environments.
