2012 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · EA12 AEJ

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT record at the most recent inspection. The March 2026 test at 90,845 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating the car was in a roadworthy condition at the time of testing. While the March 2025 test at 87,412 miles initially recorded a failure, the subsequent pass on the same day suggests the issues were rectified immediately, maintaining a consistent standard of upkeep. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical usage pattern for a 14-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 6,489 miles per year, moving from 65,669 miles in March 2023 to 90,845 miles in March 2026. This steady progression suggests regular road use rather than long periods of stationary storage, which helps mitigate the risk of perished rubber components or seized brake calipers often found on low-usage vehicles. Because the MOT history is remarkably clean, there are no obvious trends of recurring mechanical failures or structural corrosion. However, the absence of advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or tyre tread depth in the recent records should be verified through a physical inspection. Given the age of the vehicle, a buyer should pay close attention to the underside for signs of structural rust and check the condition of the brake discs and pads, as these are standard wear items that the MOT testing regime may not always highlight until they reach a failure threshold.
