2011 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · EF11 AEA

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pattern of passing its inspections. The most recent test on 9 February 2026 at 101,270 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a similar clean result in February 2025, suggesting the car is currently maintained to a standard that meets DVSA requirements without lingering mechanical issues. The mileage is typical for a 15 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,751 miles per year. The distance covered between the November 2023 test at 93,759 miles and the February 2026 test at 101,270 miles shows a steady usage pattern. A brief anomaly appears in December 2024, where the vehicle failed at 97,960 miles but passed shortly after at 97,983 miles in February 2025. The lack of recorded defects in the provided data for that failure is unusual, but the rapid resolution indicates the owner addressed the fault immediately. Because the MOT history is exceptionally clean, there are no recurring trends of suspension wear, brake deterioration, or exhaust emissions failures to flag. The absence of advisories regarding corrosion or structural integrity is positive for a vehicle of this age. However, a buyer should still manually check for common age related wear that does not always trigger an MOT failure, such as the condition of the suspension bushes and the depth of the tyre treads. Given the lack of documented mechanical failures, the primary focus during a physical inspection should be on service history. The MOT record confirms the car is roadworthy, but it does not prove that oil changes or timing belt replacements have occurred. Verify these maintenance intervals to ensure the engine and drivetrain have been cared for beyond the basic legal requirements.
