2012 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · EJ62 ABV

The 2012 Hyundai I30 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-11-19 at 133,669 miles recording a pass and no defects. Previous annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed without issues, though a duplicate entry on 2022-11-18 notes both a pass and a fail at the same mileage, raising questions about data accuracy. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are evident in the record, suggesting consistent maintenance. The vehicle’s mileage of 133,669 miles over 14 years aligns with an average of 9,548 miles annually, reflecting typical usage for its age. MOT tests spaced exactly one year apart indicate regular servicing, with no gaps or sudden spikes in mileage. The 2022-11-18 anomaly, where a fail and pass are recorded for the same date and mileage, may signal a technical error but does not otherwise disrupt the pattern of consistent, low-risk maintenance. A buyer should verify the car’s suspension, particularly bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time without triggering MOT failures. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be inspected for wear, as the absence of recorded defects does not preclude latent issues. Structural corrosion and exhaust emissions, which are not assessed in routine MOTs, warrant closer scrutiny. The duplicate test entry underscores the importance of cross-referencing records with a physical inspection to confirm the vehicle’sTrue condition.
