2019 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · RN19 FFP

A consistent record of roadworthiness is evident here, though it is marked by a recurring pattern of tyre wear and perishing advisories that persisted from 2022 through 2025. The most recent test on 19 June 2026 resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the previous tyre issues have been resolved. While the vehicle has avoided any formal MOT failures, the repeated flags for tyre condition across multiple years suggest a cycle of wear closely tied to its high usage levels. The recorded mileage of 106,507 miles is high for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 15,215 miles per year. This accumulation rate typically indicates extensive long-distance use, which places significant demand on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems. At this mileage threshold, the mechanical stress on the engine and transmission is considerably higher than that of a typical low-mileage vehicle, increasing the likelihood of wear on critical consumables and chassis components. The history of repeated advisories regarding tyre perishing and wear, particularly on the offside front, necessitates a thorough inspection of the current rubber. Check the sidewalls for fine cracking and ensure the tread depth is consistent across the width of the tyre to confirm they are not nearing the legal limit. Any uneven wear patterns observed during this inspection may indicate underlying tracking issues or the degradation of suspension bushings. During the test drive, listen for any knocks or thumps when traversing uneven surfaces and feel for vibrations through the steering wheel at higher speeds, which are common symptoms in high-mileage vehicles. While the MOT record is currently clear of structural or braking defects, the extensive usage makes it prudent to check for pedal judder or steering pull to ensure the braking system and steering rack remain precise.
