HYUNDAI I302016 · 1.6L Petrol

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on August 18, 2025 at 51,878 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This streak of clean results across the last five annual inspections suggests that the previous owners maintained the vehicle to a professional standard, preempting common mechanical failures or structural degradation often seen in this model. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old car, averaging approximately 5,188 miles per year. Between the September 2021 test at 37,972 miles and the 2025 test at 51,878 miles, the vehicle covered only 13,906 miles. This low-frequency usage pattern typically indicates less wear on drivetrain components, the clutch or gearbox, and brake assemblies. However, long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or fluid acidity, which are not captured by mileage alone. While the MOT record shows no recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by age rather than mileage. A buyer should check for signs of cracking in suspension bushes and tyres, as rubber can perish over time despite infrequent use. Since the car has been driven sparingly, verify the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the calipers have not seized from sitting. The absence of any structural advisories in the history suggests a well-cared-for example that has avoided the typical rust issues common with older hatchbacks.
