2013 HYUNDAI I301.4L Petrol

The 2013 Hyundai I30 demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its recent MOT history. The most recent test on 2025-11-14 at 76,353 miles recorded a pass with no defects, aligning with the prior 2024-11-20 test (71,875 miles) and 2023-11-03 test (67,400 miles), both also passing without issues. The 2022-10-24 test at 62,044 miles similarly showed no defects. While a 2023-11-03 failure is listed, no defects were recorded, suggesting a possible administrative error or unrelated issue. Overall, the trend indicates consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The vehicle’s mileage of 76,353 miles over 13 years equates to approximately 5,873 miles annually, significantly lower than average for its age. This suggests infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can lead to component degradation such as seized joints or corrosion. The MOT records show no gaps in testing, with annual checks from 2022 to 2025, indicating the owner prioritized compliance. However, the low mileage may mask wear on consumables like tyres or fluids, which require closer inspection. A buyer should verify the condition of the exhaust system, as low mileage can accelerate rust in hidden areas. Suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, should be checked for stiffness or wear, given the vehicle’s age. Brake discs and calipers, though unmentioned in records, warrant scrutiny for corrosion or uneven wear. The absence of structural rust reports is positive, but a physical inspection is essential to confirm body integrity and identify any long-term storage-related issues.
