2014 Hyundai IX20 1.6L Petrol · ND63 MYF

Chronic rubber degradation and emerging brake system corrosion define this vehicle's history, with a persistent pattern of tyre perishing and wear appearing on every test since 2023. While the car passed its most recent inspection on 16 March 2026, the record shows a recurring failure to address these advisories, alongside a worsening trend of corrosion affecting the rear brake pipes and hoses. The recorded mileage of 25,548 miles is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,129 miles per year. This usage profile suggests the car has spent significant periods stationary, which directly correlates with the repeated MOT advisories regarding perished tyres and binding rear brakes. Such low utilisation often leads to the premature aging of rubber components and the accumulation of surface corrosion on braking hardware due to a lack of regular heat cycles and movement. Immediate attention is required for the braking system and tyres. The history of binding rear brakes and the current advisories for corroded brake pipe ferrules and hoses indicate a need for a thorough inspection of the entire hydraulic system. During a test drive, the buyer should check for any pulling to one side under braking or a spongy pedal feel, and listen for any scraping or dragging sounds from the rear wheels when coasting, which would indicate the binding issue persists. The tyres are a critical point of concern, as they have been flagged as perishing or worn to the legal limit for four consecutive years. A physical inspection should focus on sidewall cracking and uneven tread wear, which may suggest alignment issues or long-term flat-spotting. Additionally, the loose nearside front fog light noted in the latest test should be checked for secure mounting to ensure it does not vibrate or fail during use.
