HYUNDAI I302012 · 1.6L Diesel

The Hyundai i30 presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 18 February 2026 at 131,061 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the last three annual cycles. The February 2026 test logged a fail and pass on the same day at identical mileage with no defects recorded, indicating an administrative correction rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the vehicle passed cleanly in February 2025 at 124,837 miles and February 2024 at 119,031 miles, showing no advisories or defects across the recorded history. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 14-year-old car, averaging roughly 9,362 miles per year against the 131,061 total. The records show steady accumulation: 119,026 miles in February 2024, 119,031 two days later, 124,837 by February 2025, and 131,061 by February 2026. No gaps or sudden jumps appear in the data. The clean sheet across every recorded pass and the defect-free fail suggest the previous owner kept basic statutory testing current, though the sparse record gives limited insight into intermediate servicing. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's age and 131,000-mile use. The MOT history flags no outstanding advisories, but testers only record visible defects at the time of test. Verify the February 2026 same-day fail and pass was a DVSA data entry matter and not a concealed rejection. Check service invoices to confirm cambelt, coolant, and transmission fluid intervals were met despite the clean test record.
