2014 Hyundai I30 Active Blue Drive Crdi 1.6L Heavy oil · JRZ 6958

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-04-13 at 116,763 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating a resolved issue following three consecutive failures in March 2026. The prior test on 2026-03-31 at 116,695 miles and 2026-03-23 at 116,637 miles both failed without recorded defects, suggesting potential procedural or technical inconsistencies. While the latest pass implies the car is currently roadworthy, the repeated failures without explicit faults raise questions about underlying mechanical or diagnostic stability. The mileage progression shows consistent usage, with 116,763 miles recorded at 2026-04-13, reflecting an average of 9,730 miles annually over 12 years. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident, as the 2025-02-06 test at 112,870 miles and 2023-12-22 at 109,145 miles align with steady annual growth. The MOT history lacks defects in passed tests, but the March 2026 failures—despite no recorded issues—highlight a need for closer scrutiny of systems that may not trigger immediate failure criteria, such as minor suspension play or intermittent electrical faults. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the braking system, including rear calipers and discs, for signs of uneven wear or binding, as repeated MOT failures may indicate unresolved friction or alignment issues. Suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, warrant attention due to typical wear at this mileage. Structural integrity should also be verified, as corrosion or panel damage might not appear in MOT records. The absence of recorded defects in passed tests suggests the vehicle is well-maintained, but the recent failure pattern necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm mechanical reliability.
