2014 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · SD64 KCK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a reactive approach rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 71,702 miles passed, it occurred just two days after a significant failure. That failure revealed a faulty supplementary restraint system warning lamp, a split offside front drive shaft CV boot, and an osr brake back plate rubbing the disc. Although these specific issues were rectified, the recurring nature of mechanical failures suggests that the owner only addresses faults when strictly necessitated by the MOT test. At twelve years of age, the recorded mileage of 71,702 miles averages to approximately 6,000 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the national average, which often indicates lighter use but can lead to age-related degradation of components. Between August 2023 at 57,487 miles and July 2024 at 64,634 miles, the car covered roughly 7,000 miles. The low annual usage is consistent with the wear of rubber components like deteriorated CV boots noted in the 2024 records. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the braking system and drivetrain. The 2024 test flagged corroded offside brake pipes and imbalanced front brakes that only marginally met legal requirements. The subsequent 2025 report of a rubbing back plate indicates potential uneven wear on the rear brake disc. The offside front drive shaft should be closely inspected for grease leakage, as the previous boot failure indicates a point of vulnerability. Additionally, the gearbox oil leak noted in 2024 warrants a close visual check to ensure it has not progressed since the last advisory.
