HYUNDAI I302013 · 1.6L Diesel

The vehicle currently lacks a valid MOT certificate, as the most recent test occurred on 6 February 2023. With no recorded testing in over three years, the roadworthiness status is unknown and the vehicle is legally prohibited from being driven on public roads. The history shows a clean record in the final years of testing, yet the absence of any recent inspection data prevents a definitive assessment of its current mechanical condition. The recorded mileage of 162,638 miles over thirteen years reflects a high-usage profile, averaging approximately 12,500 miles annually. This consistent accumulation suggests the vehicle spent much of its life performing motorway or long-distance journeys rather than short, stop-start urban cycles. While the steady mileage indicates a functional drivetrain, the lack of MOT data since early 2023 creates a significant gap in the maintenance history, leaving the current state of wear-prone components entirely undocumented. Prospective buyers must conduct a rigorous physical inspection of the suspension, steering, and braking systems, as these components typically reach their service life limits at this mileage. Check the underside of the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around the subframes and sills, which often develops on high-mileage vehicles of this age. Verify the condition of the clutch and flywheel, as these are high-wear items that may require replacement if they have not been addressed recently. Given the long period of inactivity, assess the engine for oil leaks and ensure the cooling system remains free of debris or signs of past overheating.
