2014 Hyundai IX20 1.6L Petrol · GL63 LNJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 54,859 miles passed, it carried forward multiple advisories regarding tyre condition and perishing. This follows a pattern seen in January 2025 where the car failed the test due to lighting issues and a structural tyre bulge, suggesting the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they result in an MOT failure. At 12 years old, the 54,859 recorded miles represent relatively low annual usage, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. The data shows a significant gap in usage between December 2023 at 46,152 miles and January 2025 at 51,007 miles, where only 4,800 miles were covered over thirteen months. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components, which is evidenced by the recurring reports of perishing and damaged tyres in the record. A buyer must inspect the tyre set thoroughly, as the history consistently flags cracking, perishing, and structural bulges across multiple tests. The record indicates the vehicle may sit for long periods, which accelerates tyre rot despite low mileage. Furthermore, the failure in 2023 for a worn offside brake pad suggests that basic consumable intervals are neglected until they reach critical levels. A physical inspection should focus on checking for seized suspension bushes and the condition of the brake discs to ensure the low mileage has not masked hidden corrosion or seized components.
