2010 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · YR10 NNZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a trend of increasing mechanical attention despite the low mileage. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 55,414 miles passed, it introduced advisories regarding a nearside front tyre and an inoperative plate lamp. This represents a shift from the previous year where the vehicle struggled with brake and suspension components, suggesting the car is now entering a phase where aging components require more frequent replacement. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 55,414 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 3,463 miles per year. This low usage often correlates with the specific issues seen in the record, such as pitted brake discs and corroded brake hoses. The gap between the January 2022 test and the January 2023 test shows only 4,504 miles covered over a year, indicating the vehicle may have sat for long periods, which typically leads to the degradation of rubber components and surface corrosion on metal surfaces rather than mechanical wear. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The 2023 test flagged play in the steering rack inner joints and a worn Macpherson strut bush, both of which should be checked for continued movement or audible knocking. The recurring mention of nearside rear brake discs being worn and pitted across 2023 and 2024 indicates the rear brakes are prone to surface rust due to lack of use. Furthermore, the corrosion on the brake hose ferrule noted in 2023 requires verification to ensure it has not progressed to structural failure which would compromise the hydraulic integrity of the braking system.
