2011 Hyundai I20 1.4L Diesel · OY11 MYT

The vehicle presents a concerning maintenance trend that suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to care. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 80,240 miles, this followed a significant failure just eleven days prior. The record shows a recurring pattern where critical components like suspension bushes and brakes are only addressed once they reach a legal failure point. The presence of a persistent oil leak and corroded rear brake piping in the latest pass result indicates a lack of thorough mechanical inspection between annual testing intervals. At 15 years old, the recorded 80,240 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 5,350 miles per year. This low usage often results in less wear on the drivetrain, but the data suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods. Between October 2023 and October 2024 tests, the car covered only 3,694 miles, yet it still failed on suspension-related wear and lighting issues. The low mileage does not protect against the degradation of rubber-based components, which is likely given the excessive wear observed on the Macpherson strut pins and bushes. A buyer must conduct a rigorous inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the history flagged the strut pins and bushes as worn in 2024 and excessively worn by 2025. The offside rear brake pipe remains a specific point of concern; the tester noted it covered in grease, a common tactic used to hide surface corrosion. This must be cleaned and inspected to ensure the corrosion is not structural or affecting the hydraulic integrity. Additionally, the oil leak noted in the two most recent tests requires a professional diagnosis to determine if it is a minor gasket weep or a more significant engine seal failure that has been ignored by the previous owner.
