2013 Hyundai I20 1.4L Petrol · PJ63 DYA

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. In the most recent test in December 2025 at 63,950 miles, the car failed initially due to multiple brake component and tyre issues. While it passed upon the immediate retest, the presence of thin brake pads and pitted discs, along with tyres worn to the legal limit on the front axle, suggests that components are only addressed once they reach the point of failure rather than being replaced during scheduled intervals. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 63,951 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,900 miles per year. The data shows consistent but infrequent usage, with 7,521 miles covered between December 2023 and November 2024, and another 7,700 miles in the following year. This low-mileage profile typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain, but it can lead to accelerated degradation of rubber seals and surface corrosion, which is evident in the recurring suspension issues noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the suspension and braking system. The offside rear shock absorber has been flagged for oil misting since November 2024 at 56,252 miles, indicating a slow leak that may soon require replacement. Furthermore, the December 2025 failure highlighted pitted front and rear brake discs and thin pads. The buyer should verify that these components were actually replaced and check for uneven wear or sticking calipers, as the history shows the owner waits for parts to become critically worn before intervening.
