2011 Hyundai IX20 1.4L Petrol · PX11 FNK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in June 2026 at 92,737 miles passed, it returned with advisories for perishing front inner tyres and pitted rear brake discs. This follows a pattern seen in 2025 where the car failed due to the same brake disc issues and tyre wear, suggesting that the owner only addresses components once they reach a failure threshold. The mileage profile is consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,182 miles per year. Between June 2024 and June 2025, the car covered 3,489 miles, while it covered only 386 miles in the year leading up to the June 2026 test. This sharp drop in annual mileage explains the recent deterioration of rubber-based components, such as the cracking and perishing noted in the 2026 MOT record, as tyres degrade over time even without significant use. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the braking system and front suspension geometry. The recurring reports of pitting and scoring on the rear brake discs across multiple years indicate the hardware may be prone to corrosion, likely exacerbated by infrequent use. Furthermore, the 2024 failure for a track rod end suggests that suspension components are reaching the end of their life; an inspector should check all ball joints and bushings for similar play. Given the advisory for perishing inner tyres, the sidewalls should be checked for dry rot to ensure the structural integrity of the rubber remains intact.
