2018 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · YP68 YRL

A pattern of tyre perishing and wear, alongside a specific braking concern, defines the recent history of this vehicle, despite the latest test on 2026-04-01 returning a pass with no defects recorded. The record shows a transition from clean tests in the early years to a period between 2024 and 2025 where multiple tyres were flagged for cracking and wearing close to the legal limit, suggesting a period of accelerated consumable wear that appears to have been resolved by the most recent inspection. The vehicle has accumulated 54,038 miles over approximately eight years, averaging roughly 6,755 miles per year. This is a typical usage rate for this model, suggesting that the mechanical components have been subject to standard operational wear rather than the extremes of high-mileage fatigue or the degradation associated with prolonged periods of standing. The 2025 advisory regarding a binding nearside rear service brake requires specific verification. During a test drive, the buyer should be alert for any uneven braking feel or a tendency for the vehicle to pull slightly during deceleration. Checking for excessive heat emanating from the nearside rear wheel after a drive can help determine if the binding issue persists. Given the 2024 and 2025 advisories for cracking, perishing, and edge wear on both front and rear tyres, the current tyre condition should be scrutinized. The buyer should look for uneven tread wear across the width of the tyres, which may point to alignment or tracking issues. Any steering wheel vibration or abnormal road noise during the test drive should be noted as potential indicators of these underlying issues.
