2013 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · ND63 CYL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding brake system integrity. While it passed its most recent test in June 2025 at 58,315 miles, this followed a failure just two days prior. In that failure, the tester identified excessive corrosion on the nearside front, offside front, and nearside rear brake pipes. This indicates that the surface corrosion noted in previous years was not adequately addressed and has progressed to a point of requiring component replacement to meet safety standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between June 2024 at 51,368 miles and June 2025 at 58,315 miles, where the car covered over 7,000 miles in twelve months. This low annual mileage often correlates with the degradation of rubber components, as evidenced by the 2023 advisory for a perishing rear tyre at 47,343 miles. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the brake system to ensure the recurring corrosion issues were resolved with new parts rather than superficial treatments. The history shows corroded pipes across all four corners in 2022, 2023, and 2025, suggesting a vulnerability to moisture or lack of under cleaning. Additionally, the rear seat belts must be verified, as the 2025 tester could not inspect them due to a fitted child seat obstructing access. Check all tyres for cracking or sidewall perishing, as the low mileage pattern often leads to age-related rubber rot rather than tread wear.
