2018 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · SD18 WFP

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in May 2026, but the inspection highlighted that the front brake pads are wearing thin. With 84,621 miles recorded, the car has covered a typical amount of mileage for its age, averaging roughly 10,500 miles per year. This suggests the car has been used for standard commuting rather than being subjected to extreme heavy use or long periods of inactivity. There is a clear pattern of wear regarding consumables that has emerged over the last three years. While the vehicle had a clean MOT history in 2022 and 2023, the frequency of defects has increased since 2024. The history shows a progression from multiple tyre issues in 2024, to a single tyre issue in 2025, and now brake pad wear in 2026. This indicates a worsening trend in terms of maintenance requirements, as the car is entering a phase where wear-and-tear items need more frequent attention. When inspecting the car in person, your priority should be the braking system and the tyres. Check the remaining thickness of the brake pads and look for any scoring on the brake discs. You should also closely examine all tyres for uneven wear, particularly on the edges, and check for any signs of cracking or perishing on the sidewalls to ensure they are not nearing the end of their life.
