2013 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · MX59 MOL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. The most recent test in April 2026 at 112,328 miles showed a failure due to lighting, steering, and braking issues. While the car passed after immediate rectifications, the presence of thin front brake pads and a worn track rod end indicates that components are reaching the end of their service life. The trend suggests faults are only addressed once they result in an MOT failure. At 112,328 miles over 13 years, the car has averaged approximately 8,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for its age. The data shows consistent annual mileage accumulation, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between May 2024 and May 2025, and another 11,000 miles between May 2025 and April 2026. This steady usage suggests the vehicle is driven regularly, which helps prevent degradation of mechanical seals and rubber components. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The record specifically flagged the nearside front track rod end with play and a rear parking brake that barely met the efficiency threshold. These findings suggest the steering geometry and parking brake mechanism require urgent adjustment or replacement. Furthermore, the recurring issue of uneven tyre wear in 2024 and 2025 points to potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that need to be verified to prevent premature tyre failure.
