2010 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · EA10 ACU

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT test on 3 May 2025 at 75,423 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to early 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very little mechanical stress. The mileage is notably low for a 2010 model, averaging roughly 4,714 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady over the last four years, growing from 59,510 miles in April 2022 to 75,423 miles by May 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest undisclosed commercial use or periods of extreme neglect. The single failure on 5 April 2022 was resolved within twenty four hours, and the lack of recorded defects since then suggests a disciplined approach to upkeep. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles often suffer from perished rubber seals, hardened suspension bushes, and brake calipers that may seize due to inactivity. While the MOT records show no binding brakes or suspension wear, a manual check of the brake pedal feel and a visual inspection for underbody corrosion are necessary. Check the tyre dates to ensure the rubber has not perished from age, even if the tread depth remains legal. Given the lack of advisories regarding exhaust emissions or structural integrity, the mechanical risk appears low. The primary concern remains the potential for dormant faults associated with low annual mileage.
