HYUNDAI I302016 · 1.4L Petrol

The 2016 Hyundai i30 presents a currently roadworthy status, with the most recent DVSA test on 14 November 2025 at 64,788 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Maintenance trend across the available history is stable, showing no advisories or mechanical faults across successive annual examinations. The vehicle cleared the 14 November 2024 test at 58,076 miles and the 10 November 2023 test at 53,395 miles equally clean, confirming consistent upkeep. Recorded mileage spans 47,505 miles at the 7 November 2022 test to 64,788 miles by November 2025, an average annual increment near 5,800 miles, slightly below the typical 6,479 miles per year for a ten-year-old car. The odometer progression is linear with no abrupt accumulation gaps. One anomaly appears on 7 November 2022 where the tester logged a fail then a pass on the same day at identical mileage with no defects cited, implying either an administrative re-test or immediate clearance of a non-mechanical compliance point. Prior owners evidently kept servicing intervals regular. Despite the clean MOT ledger, a buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive components not always captured in statutory tests. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant hands-on checks for fatigue or corrosion, particularly given the vehicle's decade of service. Examine subframe and sills for structural rust, and verify exhaust emissions under load. The absence of recorded advisories does not negate wear on consumables such as tyres and wiper blades, which the buyer should assess for remaining tread and condition. Given the stable history, the i30 represents a low-risk purchase from a documentation standpoint, but independent verification of mechanical integrity remains prudent before completion.
