2015 Hyundai I20 1.4L Petrol · NX15 TTO

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While it passed its most recent test on 26 May 2026 at 41,301 miles, this followed a failure just six days prior that flagged significant electronic and fluid issues. The presence of ABS and electronic stability control warning lamps, combined with low oil and coolant levels, suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when an MOT failure is imminent, rather than following a consistent service schedule. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old car, averaging approximately 3,755 miles per year since its first registration in 2015. The data shows a stable period between 2018 and 2023 where the vehicle passed with no defects. However, the frequency of failures increased significantly after the car surpassed 34,000 miles in early 2024. This low-usage pattern often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and surface surface corrosion, which is evidenced by the recurring reports of cracked tyres and pitted brake discs across multiple annual tests. A buyer must scrutinise the braking system and electronics thoroughly, as the record shows recurring failures to address thinning pads and scored discs. The tester flagged rear brake pads at 95% wear in May 2025 and front pads below 1.5mm thickness, indicating neglected maintenance intervals. The ABS fault recorded in the May 2026 failure requires a diagnostic scan to ensure a sensor has not merely failed or that the control module isn't degraded. Additionally, the persistent issue with cracked and worn-edge tyres over several years suggests the rubber may be suffering from dry rot due to age despite the low mileage.
