2019 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · LU12 HOB

The most recent MOT from November 2025 resulted in a pass, but it highlights a concerning pattern of neglected maintenance regarding the braking system. There is a recurring issue with the front brake pads, which were flagged as wearing thin in both November 2024 and November 2025. The fact that this advisory has appeared two years in a row suggests the pads have not been replaced despite the warnings, meaning they are likely very close to the legal limit now. Looking further back, the vehicle had significant tyre issues in early 2023, where all four tyres were worn close to the legal limit and several were showing signs of cracking or perishing. While these are not mentioned in later tests, it indicates a historical tendency to run consumables until they are nearly exhausted. The mileage of 59,497 miles over seven years is typical for this age, averaging around 8,500 miles per year. This suggests the car has been used regularly and hasn't suffered from the degradation associated with long periods of standing, nor the extreme wear of high-mileage use. Overall, the vehicle's mechanical trend appears stable in terms of major failures, but the maintenance of wear-and-tear items is lagging. The owner seems to wait until the MOT identifies a problem rather than performing preventative maintenance. When inspecting the car, your first priority should be to check the remaining thickness of the front brake pads.
