2018 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · SR18 KUG

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2025-06-23 at 37,633 miles, but two advisories were issued—severely deteriorated offside front suspension arm dust cover and a worn, pitted nearside rear brake disc—indicating a worsening trend in brake and suspension component wear over the last two tests. The brake disc issue appeared in both 2024 and 2025, with the condition progressing from light corrosion to more advanced scoring, while the suspension dust cover failure in 2025 suggests progressive deterioration rather than a one-off issue. The car is eight years old with 37,633 miles, averaging just 4,704 miles per year, confirming very low annual usage. Mileage increased steadily but slowly: 18,603 miles in 2021, 23,503 in 2022, 26,295 in 2023, 31,902 in 2024, and 37,633 in 2025—adding only around 5,700–6,000 miles per year over the last four tests. There are no gaps longer than a year between tests, and the consistent, low mileage suggests light use, though extended periods of inactivity may contribute to brake disc corrosion and dust cover degradation. A buyer should inspect the offside front suspension arm and its ball joint carefully, especially the dust cover integrity, as failure can lead to premature joint wear and handling issues. The nearside rear brake disc shows clear progression of wear and should be measured for thickness and runout, and the caliper checked for binding or uneven pad wear. Front brake pads were flagged as wearing thin in 2024, so current pad thickness and disc condition on both axles should be verified. The tyre edge wear noted in 2024 suggests possible alignment or suspension geometry issues, so a full suspension and steering inspection—including wheel bearings and tracking—should be carried out before purchase.
