2015 Hyundai I20 1.4L Petrol · GK15 GYF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in January 2026 at 58,390 miles passed, yet noted an advisory for a nearside front tyre reaching the legal limit with only 3mm of tread. This follows a pattern of deferred maintenance where components are only addressed once they approach failure thresholds, suggesting the owner overlooks routine preventative inspections between MOT intervals. At 58,390 miles, this 11-year-old Hyundai has covered low mileage, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. There is a notable two-year gap between the December 2022 and January 2024 tests, during which the car covered only 3,498 miles. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain, long periods of stationary use can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and brake hardware, which may contribute to the recurring mechanical issues observed in the later years of the record. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the record shows a persistent issue with thinning pads. In January 2024 at 50,460 miles, the nearside rear pads were flagged, and by January 2025 at 54,623 miles, all four brake pads were noted as wearing thin. This rapid progression suggests either a lack of frequent brake checks or potentially sticking calipers causing uneven wear. The front discs should be measured for scoring or excessive thinning that would indicate they require immediate replacement. Attention should also be paid to the suspension and tyres. While the 2022 windscreen washer failure was rectified, the 2026 edge wear on the nearside front tyre indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. Given the low mileage and age of the vehicle, an inspector should specifically check for perished rubber seals and corrosion on the undercarriage, which often affects cars that sit idle for extended periods.
