2013 Hyundai IX20 1.4L Petrol · YY13 HFF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean inspections to reactive repairs. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 83,950 miles passed, it revealed several immediate defects related to lighting, tyres, and brake hoses. This follows a clean record in 2025 and early 2024, indicating that while the car was well-maintained previously, components are now showing signs of age-related degradation. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage older vehicle, averaging approximately 6,450 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 4,438 miles between June 2024 and April 2025, followed by another 5,634 miles in the final year leading up to the 2026 test. This low annual mileage explains the condition of rubber-based components, such as the rear brake hoses and ball joint dust covers, which often perish or fail due to time and exposure rather than mechanical wear from high mileage. A buyer should personally inspect the front suspension thoroughly, as the June 2024 failure for ball joint play and perished dust covers suggests a history of wear in the steering geometry. The 2026 advisory regarding a nearside front tyre worn on the inner edge and a cracked offside tyre indicates potential alignment issues or simply brittle rubber compounds. Furthermore, the corrosion noted on the ferrules of both rear inner brake hoses is a warning of future hydraulic failure and should be monitored or replaced to prevent a sudden loss of braking pressure.
