HYUNDAI I302010 · 1.4L Petrol

The Hyundai i30 presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 18 July 2023 at 119,338 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the test history shows two administrative failures recorded with no defects listed, one on 10 July 2023 at 119,186 miles and another on 8 July 2022 at 108,829 miles. These failures without recorded faults suggest documentation or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical deterioration. No worsening mechanical pattern is evident across the five-year span of records. The odometer shows 119,338 miles against a July 2010 build, equating to roughly 7,459 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. Mileage progressed from 99,210 in July 2021 to 108,829 in July 2022, then to 119,186 by July 2023, reflecting steady annual use of around 10,000 miles in the final recorded year. The record stops at July 2023, leaving a three-year gap to the present date of 16 July 2026 with no subsequent test data, meaning the current mechanical state is unverified by MOT evidence. A buyer should commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and structural underbody corrosion given the vehicle's sixteen-year age and the absence of any advisory notes in the supplied history. The clean defect record may simply reflect lenient testing rather than confirmed component health. The unexplained failures with no defects logged warrant scrutiny of the vehicle's paperwork and previous ownership discipline around test presentation. Given the elapsed three years since the last test, confirm the car holds a valid current MOT and assess tyre tread depth, exhaust emissions, and binding calipers before purchase, as consumable wear and braking condition cannot be inferred from a record ending in mid-2023.
