2016 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · RJ66 VGK

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows signs of developing neglect regarding consumable components. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 48,395 miles identified binding issues on the offside rear brakes and significant wear on both front nearside and offside tyres. These defects indicate a decline compared to the 2022 inspection, which recorded no faults, suggesting that basic mechanical upkeep and alignment now require immediate attention. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,840 miles per year. Between October 2022 (29,373 miles) and October 2025 (48,395 miles), the car covered roughly 19,000 miles. While this low usage typically implies less wear and tear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods between drives can lead to rubber component degradation and brake caliper corrosion, which may align with the binding results fault found in the latestTest. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension, as the inner edge wear on the tyres noted in 2025 often signals an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. The binding offside rear brake also requires investigation to ensure the caliper piston is not seized or the mechanism corroded. Additionally, while the recurring mentions of child seats preventing belt inspections between 2021 and 2024 are non-mechanical, they highlight a lack of thorough access to the interior during previous testing cycles.
