2014 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · ND14 FCA

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently assessed as poor , with a clear worsening trend evident from the most recent test dated 2026-05-27. The 2026-05-27 test revealed a significant issue: worn, pitted, and scored brake discs, which indicates that the braking system has deteriorated despite passing the initial inspection. This defect is not a minor consumable wear but a serious mechanical risk that has persisted since the 2024-05-15 test, where the same condition was noted again on a 60,925-mile test. The failure to address these brake issues during the 2024-05-15 test suggests that previous owners may have neglected routine servicing, leading to accelerated wear. The mileage profile shows a distinct gap in the data, with the 2025-05-31 test occurring after the 2026-05-27 test. While the vehicle is approximately 12 years old and has accumulated roughly 5,215 miles per year, the 62,424-mile test in May 2025 indicates that the car has not maintained a steady, low-mileage pattern. Instead, the rapid accumulation of mileage since the 2024-05-15 test, combined with the failure of the front headlamp at 60,925 miles, suggests that the vehicle is likely being driven at a speed or on a route that places high stress on the drivetrain and suspension. This rapid mileage increase, particularly since the 2024-05-15 test, implies that the vehicle is either being driven heavily or has been in a state of inactivity for extended periods, which can accelerate wear on critical components like the suspension and brakes. Given the recurring failure of the rear brake discs and the suspension components, a buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to verify the condition of the braking system, suspension bushings, and coil springs. The history indicates that the front headlamp is also inoperative, which is a structural failure rather than a consumable wear item. If the buyer proceeds with the purchase, they must be prepared to inspect the brakes, suspension, and wheel alignment to confirm that the worn brake discs and bushings have not been replaced or repaired. Failing to address the brake disc damage in the 2026-05-27 test would result in a vehicle that may require costly and potentially unsafe repairs, such as replacing worn brake discs or bushings, which are not covered by the current MOT certificate.
