2014 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · FP64 JVG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While the most recent test on April 28 2026 at 116,643 miles passed, it followed a failure just one day prior. The trend shows a recurring pattern where critical safety components such as brakes and suspension parts are left to deteriorate until they actively fail an MOT test. This suggests the current owner only addresses mechanical faults when legally compelled, rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 116,643 miles over 12 years, the car averages approximately 9,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a small city car. The mileage accumulation is steady, with roughly 5,700 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and over 10,000 miles covered between 2025 and 2026. This consistent usage explains the gradual wear observed on consumables, particularly the tyres and the degradation of rubber components noted throughout the record. A buyer must pay close attention to the front suspension geometry, as the record shows a history of a fractured coil spring and excessive play in the track rod end in April 2025. The most recent failure involved a severely deteriorated anti-roll bar linkage dust cover, indicating that further suspension bushings are reaching the end of their life. Furthermore, the front brake pads were recorded at a dangerously thin level of under 1.5mm in 2026, necessitating an immediate inspection of the remaining pads and the discs to ensure they have not been scored. Tyre management is another evident weakness, with multiple advisories for uneven wear and tread depth nearing legal limits across the last three years. The buyer should check for persistent alignment issues given the reported inner and outer wear on the nearside front tyre. While the offside front mirror and bumper damage are minor cosmetic concerns, the recurring mechanical failures in the steering and braking systems suggest the vehicle will require frequent investment to maintain continued roadworthiness.
