2012 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · EA12 ADV

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 25 February 2026 at 94,237 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent five-year trend of clean passes, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard and has avoided the common degradation typically seen in cars of this vintage. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a 14-year-old vehicle. Between March 2022 at 59,168 miles and February 2026 at 94,237 miles, the car covered 35,069 miles. This averages to roughly 8,700 miles per year over the last four years, which is slightly higher than the lifetime average of 6,731 miles per year but suggests regular use. Regular driving typically prevents the perishing of rubber seals and the seizing of brake calipers often found in low-mileage examples. The absence of any advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc corrosion over five consecutive tests is rare for a 2012 model. There are no recurring faults to suggest systemic mechanical failure or neglected upkeep. The record implies a disciplined approach to preventative maintenance by the previous owners. A physical inspection should still focus on areas the MOT tester may overlook or that do not trigger a failure. Check for oil leaks around the engine seals and inspect the condition of the timing belt or chain, as these service items are not captured in MOT data. Given the age of the vehicle, a visual check for underbody corrosion in non-structural areas remains prudent, though the clean test history suggests the chassis is in good condition.
