2018 Hyundai I20 1.0L Petrol · RO68 ULB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While the test in March 2026 at 58,325 miles was a pass, it followed a failure due to an offside front tyre with tread depth below the legal 1.6mm limit. The presence of multiple advisories and failing components across the last three years suggests that the owner only addresses defects when they threaten an MOT pass, rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At 58,325 miles over eight years, the car has averaged approximately 7,300 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression shows steady use, with roughly 6,900 miles covered between April 2024 and April 2025, and another 4,800 miles between April 2025 and March 2026. This consistent usage pattern does not suggest long-term neglect, but it does explain the gradual degradation of rubber components and brake hardware noted in the record. A buyer must focus inspection on the braking system and rubberwork. The record shows a recurring issue with pitted and scored nearside rear brake discs dating back to April 2025 and persisting into March 2026, indicating the discs are reaching the end of their life and require replacement. Furthermore, the consistent mention of cracking and perishing tyres across all four corners since 2024 suggests the rubber is becoming brittle due to age and exposure rather than just wear. A physical inspection should verify the tyre sidewalls for deep structural cracking. The windscreen has been flagged for damage since at least 2025. While it currently does not obstruct the driver's view, the glass should be monitored for spreading cracks that occur under temperature changes. The offside side repeater lens is also a known minor defect that remained unfixed through to the most recent test. Beyond these consumable and minor items, there are no recorded structural failures or major mechanical defects in the history to suggest immediate concern for the chassis or drivetrain.
