2018 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · FH67 OFX

The latest MOT on 29 May 2026 shows the car failed the test. The failure points are all tyre‑related – the nearside front tyre is below the legal tread depth, the off‑side front tyre is worn on the edge and showing cracking, and both rear tyres have slight damage or cracking. In addition, the rear brake pads are reported as 60 % worn and the rear windscreen wiper blade is defective. These tyre defects are new compared to the three previous years of MOTs (2023‑2025), which recorded no faults at all. The sudden appearance of multiple tyre problems suggests a worsening trend in tyre condition rather than a stable one. The rear brake pad wear, while not yet a failure, is also approaching the point where replacement will be needed soon. The car has travelled 54,448 mi in eight years – about 6,800 mi per year – which is roughly average for a vehicle of this age. That mileage alone does not indicate excessive wear, but the rapid tyre deterioration could point to periods of hard driving, aggressive cornering, or simply the natural ageing of the rubber combined with limited recent replacement. The brake wear is consistent with normal use at this mileage, but it will need attention in the near future. For a prospective buyer the priority checks are: Inspect all four tyres for tread depth, sidewall cracking and any bulges or damage.
