2013 Hyundai I20 1.4L Petrol · GV13 TYD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on 11 June 2025 at 42,744 miles, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the June 2025 test cleared the critical failures from the previous day, the record shows a history of significant brake component degradation and corrosion. The transition from seriously weakened brake discs and excessively corroded pipes to a pass just twenty-four hours later suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they reach the point of legal failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,288 miles per year. Between June 2023 and June 2025, the car covered only 2,146 miles, indicating long periods of stationary or minimal use. This low usage explains the aged state of certain rubber and metal components, such as the perishing and cracking of tyres flagged in 2025 and the heavy corrosion noted on the underside, which often accelerates when vehicles sit idle for extended periods despite low recorded mileage. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the structural integrity and the underside, as the 2023 test explicitly noted heavy corrosion across the chassis. The recurring issues with brake pipes and discs indicate that the braking system is prone to rapid rust due to the low usage cycles. Additionally, the distorted nearside front road wheel reported in 2023 should be checked for hairline cracks or structural deformation, and the tyres should be inspected for deep sidewall cracking, as the most recent record confirms they are perishing regardless of remaining tread depth.
