2018 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · SH18 UPO

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state, though the maintenance trend shows a recent decline following several years of stability. While the car maintained a cleanion between 2023 and 2025, the most recent test on 12 March 2026 at 55,569 miles resulted in a failure due to tyre condition and parking brake efficiency. This indicates a lapse in routine preventative maintenance that was not present in previous inspection cycles. The mileage profile is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year over the eight-year period. There is a steady accumulation of mileage between the 34,605 miles recorded in 2023 and the 55,569 miles in early 2026, suggesting predictable usage patterns rather than long periods of inactivity. This low annual mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though the recent test failure highlights that rubber-based components are aging independently of the low distance driven. A buyer must prioritize inspecting the artwork brake system, as the failure in March 2026 noted low efficiency, which could point to seized calipers or a need for adjustment to the cable mechanism. Furthermore, the tyre condition requires immediate attention; the nearside front was at the legal limit with edge wear, and both rear tyres showed cracking between tread blocks. This cracking indicates age weathering, suggesting the tyres have reached their structural limit despite remaining depth and should be replaced for safety. An inspection of the suspension geometry is also advised to ensure the edge wear on the front tyre is not caused by an alignment issue or worn bushes.
