AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passing its most recent MOT on 5 December 2025 at 108,083 miles. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories across several years indicates a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets minimum legal requirements. While the record shows two failures in December 2023 and December 2025, these were resolved within the same day, suggesting minor administrative or easily rectified issues rather than deep-seated mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 7,206 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between November 2024 and December 2025, where the odometer rose from 98,359 to 108,083 miles. This period of higher activity did not result in any new mechanical defects or wear-related advisories, which implies the drivetrain and chassis handled the increased load without immediate degradation. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the underbody and suspension components. Despite the clean MOT history, a 15-year-old vehicle is susceptible to structural corrosion and perished suspension bushes that may not yet have reached a failure threshold. Particular attention should be paid to the brake discs and pads to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life, as the record provides no data on when these consumables were last replaced. The lack of recurring faults suggests a disciplined approach to maintenance by previous owners. The absence of advisories regarding tyre tread or wiper blades further indicates that basic upkeep has not been neglected. A manual check for oil leaks and a test of the electrical systems would complete the due diligence for this specific example.

Our Verdict

A strong recommendation for those seeking a reliable, high-mileage diesel hatchback. The exceptionally clean MOT record for a 2011 vehicle suggests a high standard of maintenance.

Focus your attention on the service history to ensure the diesel engine has had regular oil changes and that the timing belt/chain has been addressed according to the manufacturer's schedule. Because the MOT history shows no recorded defects, you should negotiate based on the age of the tyres and brake pads rather than mechanical failures.

Verify that the vehicle has a complete record of servicing. For a diesel of this age, ask the owner about typical urban usage to ensure the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) has been regularly regenerated through longer motorway journeys.

The 1.6L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, offering competitive MPG for long-distance commuting. Tax and insurance for the i30 generally fall into mid-range brackets, making it an affordable daily driver.

Typical maintenance costs for this model are moderate, though older diesels can face higher costs if the DPF or clutch requires replacement. Expect annual costs to be kept low provided the maintenance trend seen in the MOT history continues.

While the MOT history for PE61AEW is impressively clear of defects, you should still perform a physical inspection of the chassis and wheel arches for surface rust, which is common for 2011-era vehicles in the UK climate.

Check the clutch pedal feel and gear transitions to ensure there is no slipping, and inspect the exhaust system for any signs of soot buildup. Since no defects were listed in the 2023 or 2025 tests, focus your inspection on wear-and-tear items that may not have reached a failure threshold but will soon require replacing.

This Blue 2011 Hyundai i30 (1.6L Diesel) presents as a well-maintained example with 108,083 miles on the clock. Its MOT history is remarkably clean, with no recorded defects over the last three years, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in good mechanical order. Given its age and mileage, it offers a practical and cost-effective value proposition.

The Hyundai i30 is generally regarded as a dependable family hatchback, though specific aggregate data for this generation is not available in this report.
