2022 Hyundai I20 SE Connect Mhev T-GDI 1.0L Hybrid electric · SH71 YXT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 52,172 miles resulted in a pass, it revealed pitting and scoring on both front brake discs. This follows a failure in January 2025 where the parking brake failed efficiency requirements and one side was inoperative, suggesting that mechanical components are only addressed once they reach a failure threshold. At 52,172 miles over four years, this Hyundai averages approximately 13,000 miles per annum, which exceeds the national average for a modern hatchback. This high mileage profile accelerates the wear rate on consumables and suspension components. The 7,597-mile interval recorded between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests indicates consistent annual use, which places greater strain on the mild hybrid drivetrain and braking system compared to lower-mileage examples of the same 2022 vehicle. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the pitting on the front discs indicates either environmental corrosion or prolonged use with worn pads. The previous failure of the parking brake necessitates a mechanical adjustment or replacement of the rear mechanism to ensure it remains effective. Additionally, the offside front suspension should be checked for uneven wear, as the 2025 record flagged a tyre worn on the edge, which often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that have not been properly rectified.
