2013 Hyundai IX20 1.4L Petrol · SP13 OSK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in February 2026 at 59,243 miles passed with a minor defect regarding a defective rear exhaust mounting. This follows a clean result in February 2025, which immediately followed a failure for a damaged ABS component. While the car is passing its tests, the history suggests that faults are only addressed once they trigger an inspection failure. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 59,243 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,557 miles per year. The data shows consistent but infrequent usage patterns, with roughly 5,000 miles driven between February 2024 and 2025, and another 4,000 miles between February 2025 and 2026. This low mileage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and seals, despite the low mechanical wear expected on the engine and drivetrain. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system and suspension components due to recurring issues in these areas. The 2024 failure for parking brake efficiency and the 2025 failure for a damaged ABS sensor indicate that the braking hardware and sensors may be prone to corrosion or neglect from low-use cycles. Additionally, the exhaust mounting noted in 2026 should be checked to ensure the system is not vibrating or causing structural stress. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, checking for cracks in suspension bushes and perished tyre rubber is essential, as these parts degrade over time regardless of distance driven.
