2014 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · EJ14 AAN

This Hyundai i30 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 12 January 2026 at 141,785 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age. It has covered approximately 21,000 miles between the December 2022 test at 120,790 miles and the January 2026 test at 141,785 miles. This averages to roughly 5,250 miles per year over the last four years, which is lower than the overall lifetime average of 11,815 miles per year. The record shows a brief failure and immediate pass on 31 December 2024 at 133,865 miles, though the lack of recorded defects suggests a minor administrative or trivial issue rather than a mechanical failure. The absence of advisories across multiple years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. While the record is clean, a buyer should still physically inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear. High-mileage vehicles often develop subtle play in the steering rack or corrosion on the chassis and sills that may not always trigger an MOT failure but affect long-term longevity. Given the lack of flagged issues, focus your inspection on the drivetrain and fluid conditions. Check for oil leaks around the engine bay and ensure the gearbox shifts smoothly. Verify the condition of the tyres and brake pads, as these consumables are not explicitly detailed in the pass certificates but will require replacement based on the 141,785 miles recorded.
