2014 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · ND63 OFZ

The vehicle presents a concerning maintenance profile characterized by a worsening trend of recurring mechanical neglect and reactive repairs. While it passed its most recent MOT in February 2024 at 73,650 miles, the history reveals a persistent pattern of failing due to avoidable wear and tear. The recurring presence of corroded brake pipes, worn tyres, and lighting issues suggests that the previous owners only addressed faults when forced to do so by the annual testing process, rather than following a preventative service schedule. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between December 2020 and January 2022, during which the car sat for over 12 months without a test. This period of inactivity likely contributed to the accelerated corrosion seen on rubber components and metal lines in the subsequent tests. Since the February 2024 test, the vehicle has covered very little mileage, meaning the current MOT is now over two years out of date and factually expired as of the current date. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and structural integrity. The tester has repeatedly flagged corrosion on the front and rear brake pipes, as well as a binding rear service brake in 2024, which indicates deteriorating hydraulic components. More critically, the record notes corrosion on both the front and rear subframes as of 2023; while these were marked as not seriously weakened at that time, structural rust is progressive and requires monitoring. The frequent reports of inner-edge tyre wear across multiple years also suggest persistent alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that remain unaddressed.
