2011 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · CV61 BNZ

The Hyundai i30 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, based on the most recent test on 20 November 2023 at 137,499 miles where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. Prior tests in 2021 and 2022 also returned passes with no advisories, indicating no escalating mechanical concerns across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared its final recorded examination cleanly, reflecting a consistent absence of flagged faults over the observed period. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical rate for a 2011 vehicle, averaging roughly 9,167 miles per year against the 137,499 miles recorded at the last test. The records show 107,208 miles on 17 November 2021, rising to 117,658 miles by 23 November 2022, then jumping to 137,499 miles by 20 November 2023, equating to around 20,000 miles in the final year versus circa 10,000 annually before. A failed test on 22 November 2022 at 117,595 miles preceded the pass next day at 117,658 miles, though the DVSA entry logs no defects for either, suggesting an administrative or unrecorded-cause rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Given the clean MOT history with no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions, the previous owner appears to have maintained the car to a basic pass standard without neglected consumables surfacing in the record. The sparse data offers no evidence of recurring wear patterns or structural risk across the drivetrain and chassis components. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the underbody for structural rust, verify the condition of tyres and wiper blades not captured by the tests, and confirm the sudden 2022-2023 mileage rise did not obscure undocumented brake or suspension fatigue. The absence of advisories does not exempt a 15-year-old car from age-related degradation invisible to the MOT snapshot.
