2011 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · ML11 LZC

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs regarding braking components. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 122,133 miles passed, the tester identified thin front brake pads and worn front discs. This indicates a departure from the clean records seen in 2023 and 2024, suggesting that the braking system is now reaching the end of its effective service life. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year. Between the March 2025 test at 112,955 miles and the March 2026 test at 122,133 miles, the car covered roughly 9,000 miles, representing steady and typical use. The lack of significant gaps between annual tests suggests the vehicle has been used regularly, though the recent wear on the brakes implies that preventative maintenance may be neglected between these inspections. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the rear axle beam to assess the extent of the surface rust noted in the 2026 test. While surface rust is common on vehicles of this age, it must be monitored for deep corrosion that could eventually compromise structural integrity. The buyer should also check the tyres for uneven wear, as the 2025 test advisory for edge wear on the rear tyres often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that require attention. Given the 2026 findings, the front brake discs and pads require immediate replacement to ensure optimal stopping performance. The buyer should also verify that all exterior lamps are functional, as the vehicle previously failed in 2023 due to a stop lamp bulb. Overall, the history shows a stable vehicle for several years, but it is now entering at a stage where consumable wear and structural corrosion require more frequent monitoring.
