2009 Hyundai I20 1.4L Petrol · LS59 FNP

The most recent MOT, dated 2 October 2025, recorded the car at 105 627 miles and highlighted several failures. The rear sub‑frame was noted as corroded (though not yet seriously weakened) and both rear brake discs were corroded on both sides. In addition, the rear stop lamps, the off‑side front position lamp and the off‑side rear stop lamp were all intermittent or non‑functional. These items are safety‑critical and would need repair before the car can be legally driven. A clear pattern emerges across the four MOTs. Corrosion on the rear sub‑frame and rear discs appears in both 2025 and 2024 entries, suggesting the problem is persisting rather than being addressed. Brake‑disc wear (front and off‑side rear) is recorded in 2023, 2024 and 2025, indicating ongoing wear that, while not yet deemed structurally weakened, is approaching the point where replacement will be required. Lighting and washer‑system faults also recur, with various lamps failing in 2023, 2024 and 2025, and the washer jets only just supplying enough fluid in 2023. Overall the trend is not improving. The vehicle has moved from a series of minor warnings (discoloured headlamps, washer fluid) to repeated safety‑related failures (corroded rear sub‑frame, brake disc condition, multiple lamp outages).
