2007 Hyundai I30 1.6L Petrol · HY57 DAW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection in October 2025 at 76,691 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a test failure occurred in September 2024 at 70,708 miles, the immediate pass on the same day suggests the identified issues were rectified promptly by the owner. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. Between September 2022 at 59,780 miles and October 2025 at 76,691 miles, the car covered roughly 17,000 miles, confirming consistently light usage. This low mileage typically implies less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine compared to average vehicles, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to age-related degradation such as perished rubber perishing or fluid breakdown, which are not always captured by mileage figures alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as low-mileage cars often hide hidden corrosion in sills and wheel arches due to moisture rather than use. Since the record shows no recurring advisories for brakes or tyres, check for signs of perished bushes or coil springs that may have become brittle with age. Additionally, verify the brake discs for pitting or seized calipers, as infrequent use can cause these components to stick despite a clean MOT history.
