2014 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · EJ14 AAU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The most recent inspection conducted in October 2025 at 123,869 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety and emissions standards. While a failure was recorded in October 2024, the immediate re-test on the same day suggests a minor issue was rectified promptly rather than being indicative of chronic mechanical neglect. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,300 miles per annum. Between October 2022 at 60,308 miles and October 2024 at 103,349 miles, the car covered over 43,000 miles, showing steady usage. The more recent interval of 20,520 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests further confirms the vehicle is used regularly, which helps prevent the corrosion and seal degradation associated with long periods of standing. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the final two tests, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear items for a car at this mileage bracket. The buyer should check the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these often show degradation after the 100,000-mile mark. Examining the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or thinning is also advisable, as the MOT record does not explicitly rule out binding issues or low friction material between tests.
