2014 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · EA64 AEJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-24 at 133,167 miles confirmed it met roadworthiness standards with no defects recorded. The trend from 2023 to 2026 shows consistent compliance, with all tests passing except a single failure on 2024-02-22 at 113,724 miles, which also recorded no defects. This suggests the car has maintained acceptable mechanical condition, though the unexplained failure warrants scrutiny for potential unresolved issues. No recurring faults or escalating problems were documented, indicating stable maintenance practices. The vehicle’s mileage of 133,167 miles over 12 years aligns with average annual usage of ~11,097 miles. Gaps between MOT tests range from 11 to 13 months, with no evidence of prolonged inactivity or rapid accumulation. The 2023-02-28 test at 103,878 miles to 2024-02-22 at 113,724 miles shows a 9,846-mile increase in 12 months, followed by a 11,173-mile rise by 2025-03-26. These figures reflect typical usage patterns without excessive strain on components. The absence of advisories or defects in most tests implies routine upkeep, though the 2024 failure remains an anomaly. A buyer should verify the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these often degrade over time without immediate fault codes. The brake system, particularly rear calipers and discs, should be inspected for binding or uneven wear, as these can develop gradually. Exhaust emissions and corrosion, especially in underbody areas, warrant attention, as they may not trigger MOT failures until advanced. While the record shows no critical issues, the 2024 failure suggests a need to review service history for potential unresolved concerns.
