HYUNDAI I30 COMFORT2009 · 1.4L Petrol

The Hyundai i30 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 June 2025 at 73,650 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual test on 14 June 2024 at 68,686 miles also passed clean. Two earlier failures in February 2023 and May 2024 were recorded at 64,416 and 68,655 miles respectively, yet the DVSA entry lists no defects against either, indicating the car cleared on retest within days without mechanical rectification. The ownership pattern shows consistent annual compliance once the vehicle was presented correctly. Recorded mileage sits at 73,650 against a 2009 build, an average of roughly 4,332 miles per year. The gap between the February 2023 pass at 64,449 miles and the June 2024 pass at 68,686 miles shows only 4,237 miles in sixteen months, confirming light use. Between June 2024 and June 2025 the car covered 4,964 miles. The low annual distance suggests prolonged standing periods are likely, which raises the risk of perished rubber components and stagnant brake calipers even though the tests show no active corrosion or wear advisories. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and low-use profile. Standing time accelerates degradation of flexible joints and can cause binding calipers that a clean MOT will not reveal between tests. The exhaust emissions and structural integrity carried no advisories across all five entries, so no recurring mechanical fault trend exists in the official record. The defect-free history from 2023 to 2025 implies the previous keepers addressed presentation issues promptly after the two no-defect failures. Verify the bodywork underside for corrosion and confirm tyre sidewall condition, as low-mileage cars often retain aged rubber beyond safe service life despite passing tread checks.
