2015 Hyundai IX20 1.6L Petrol · RG14 APR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding brake component condition. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 41,599 miles passed, the presence of pitting and scoring on both front brake discs indicates a progression of surface degradation. This follows the March 2025 test where the discs were merely noted as worn but not excessively. The trend suggests the braking hardware is reacting to corrosion, likely due to the vehicle's low usage profile. At eleven years old, the recorded mileage of 41,599 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year. This low mileage pattern explains the recurring surface rust and pitting seen on the brake rotors, as components are not used frequently enough to clear away atmospheric oxidation. The data gap between March 2024 and March 2026 shows the car covered only 7,168 miles, which is consistent with a low-use vehicle but increases risks of rubber components and tyres perishing from standing for long periods. A buyer must perform a close physical inspection of the front braking system to ensure the pitting has not compromised the structural integrity of the discs. The failure in March 2024 due to a tyre bulge and the subsequent advisory for a cracking offside tyre in 2026 indicate that the rubber is reaching the end of life regardless of tread depth. Check the sidewalls of all four tyres for dry rot, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from aged rubber. Additionally, verify the headlamp alignment to ensure the previous failure from 2025 remains corrected.
