2014 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · YH14 PZE

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend of deferred attention toward braking and suspension components. The most recent test in August 2025 at 51,214 miles identified thinning front brake pads and a cut on the nearside rear tyre. While the car passed the test, the persistence of corrosion on both rear brake hose ferrules across the 2024 and 2025 inspections indicates that environmental degradation is progressing rather than being addressed. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 51,214 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 4,268 miles. This low usage pattern is consistent, with annual intervals of roughly 2,000 to 2,300 miles between tests since 2021. Such low mileage often leads to age-related rubber and metal degradation despite low mechanical wear, which is evidenced by the suspension arm bushes and arm corrosion noted between 2021 and 2022. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the front suspension assembly. The record shows a progression from worn bushes in 2021 to visible corrosion on the front suspension arms in 2022. Given the low mileage, these components are likely suffering from dry rot or oxidation rather than physical fatigue. The rear braking system also requires close monitoring as the slight corrosion on the brake hose ferrules has appeared for two consecutive years and will eventually lead to a structural failure if the hoses are not replaced.
