2012 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · EJ62 AEN

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 8 November 2025 at 129,062 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean test results over the last three years, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a 14 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,219 miles per year. Usage has remained steady, with 8,216 miles added between the November 2023 test at 115,866 miles and the October 2024 test at 124,180 miles. A lower accumulation of 4,882 miles occurred between October 2024 and November 2025, indicating a slight decrease in annual usage. The absence of advisories or failures across the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. While the record is clean, a buyer should still manually inspect the underbody for corrosion and check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs. These components typically degrade by 129,000 miles regardless of MOT outcomes. Verify the service history to ensure the lack of MOT defects reflects proactive maintenance rather than a lack of deep mechanical scrutiny. Pay close attention to the brake discs and pads for wear, as the DVSA record provides no data on the remaining thickness of these consumables. Checking for oil leaks around the engine bay will confirm if the vehicle has been maintained to a standard beyond the basic legal requirements.
