2017 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · NA67 CXM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent MOT history indicates a worsening trend in reactive maintenance. While the car passed a clean test in November 2024, the February 2026 test at 76,714 miles resulted in multiple failures related to lighting, suspension, and braking. The immediate pass on the same day after addressing the bulbs and ball joint dust covers suggests that the previous owner only repaired faults when necessitated by an MOT failure rather than following a preventative service schedule. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. There is a gap of roughly 9,700 miles between August 2023 and November 2024, followed by another 8,200 miles between late 2024 and early 2026. This steady accumulation suggests regular road use, yet the recurring nature of tyre and brake wear issues across these intervals indicates that consumable components are reaching the end of their functional lifespans despite the relatively low total mileage. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry closely, as both the nearside and offside suspension arm ball joint dust covers were flagged for severe deterioration in February 2026. The history also shows a binding offside front brake in 2023, followed by thin nearside rear pads in the most recent test, which warrants a thorough check of the calipers for uneven wear or disc scoring. Furthermore, the repeated mention of tyres worn to the legal limit or with uneven edge wear across 2022, 2023, and 2026 suggests a persistent alignment issue that has not been properly addressed.
