2014 Hyundai IX20 1.6L Petrol · MM64 EAW

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean passes to emerging mechanical wear issues. The most recent test in September 2025 at 36,367 miles identified several areas requiring attention including worn front brake discs, thin offside rear pads, and a perished tyre. This contrasts with the perfectly clean records seen in 2023 and 2024, suggesting the vehicle is now entering a phase where aged components require proactive replacement. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between December 2022 and September 2023, where the car covered only 715 miles in nine months. However, the mileage increased significantly by over 5,400 miles between 2023 and 2025. Such low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, which is consistent with the cracking noted in the latest inspection. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and tyres. The history shows a recurring pattern of uneven tyre wear and reaching legal limits between 2021 and 2022, which may indicate alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Given the 2025 report of worn discs and thin pads, the buyer must check for binding calipers, especially since low-mileage vehicles often suffer from components seizing due to inactivity. The noted cracking on the nearside rear tyre requires immediate replacement as age-related rot compromises structural integrity regardless of tread depth.
