2012 Hyundai I20 1.4L Diesel · LS61 TTF

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in January 2026, but this followed a failure the previous day. It is concerning that the pass was achieved while leaving several items as advisories, including front brake pads that are wearing thin and a suspension arm ball joint dust cover that is severely deteriorated. The overall condition of the vehicle appears to be worsening. While the 2024 MOT was completely clean, the subsequent years show a significant increase in defects. There is a recurring pattern of suspension and steering issues, including a previous failure for a track rod end that posed a serious risk of detachment and an excessively worn anti-roll bar linkage. The recorded mileage of 115,596 is typical for a 14-year-old car. This level of use explains the general wear on consumables, but the frequency of steering and suspension failures suggests the vehicle is reaching a stage where multiple drivetrain components are failing in quick succession. A buyer should first inspect the front brakes and the condition of the tyres, as these have been persistent issues. Most importantly, a thorough check of the front suspension and steering joints is essential to ensure that previous critical failures were repaired properly and that the current deteriorated dust cover has not led to further joint wear.
