2010 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · LB10 WDS

The vehicle's roadworthiness is currently unacceptable and the maintenance trend is unstable , driven by a rapid accumulation of mileage over the past year that has compounded previous faults. The most recent test on 2026-01-08 at 128,638 miles failed both rear tyre tread and brake requirements, indicating that the braking system requires immediate adjustment or repair. This failure occurred after a previously successful test on 2025-01-30, which was passed at 121,799 miles, demonstrating that the vehicle has not been properly maintained since the previous year's inspection. The gap between the 2025 and 2026 tests, followed by the 2026 failure, suggests that basic upkeep was skipped or neglected, leading to the accumulation of wear on critical components like the suspension and brakes. The mileage pattern is unbalanced , with the vehicle accumulating roughly 8,000 miles per year, which is typical for its age but correlates directly with the severity of the faults. The rapid increase in mileage over the last year, coupled with the failure to pass the 2026 test, indicates that the vehicle has been used for a period without adequate servicing. This pattern is not merely a result of normal wear and tear but likely reflects a lack of proactive maintenance, where the vehicle is driven for extended periods without the regular checks required to prevent catastrophic failure. Given the recurring faults in the braking system and the structural risks associated with the suspension and tyres, a buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to identify the specific points of failure. The tester flagged binding rear brakes and tyre wear requiring immediate attention, suggesting that the suspension and braking components may be in a state of failure that requires professional adjustment or replacement. A buyer should not proceed with purchase until the vehicle has been thoroughly inspected by a qualified technician to determine if the suspension, brakes, or drivetrain needs to be adjusted or repaired, as the current MOT record indicates a need for immediate action.
