2012 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · PY62 ABZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 21 October 2025 at 113,650 miles. The maintenance trend is generally stable, though the most recent test indicates a decline in braking system integrity. The car failed on the same day due to a leaking nearside rear hydraulic brake caliper and insufficient parking brake efficiency, both of which were rectified to achieve a pass. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 8,118 miles per year. The record shows a steady increase from 76,149 miles in October 2016 to 113,650 miles in October 2025. There are no significant gaps in the testing history or sudden spikes in usage, suggesting the car has been used regularly rather than sitting idle for long periods. A buyer should focus on the braking system and wheel bearings during a physical inspection. The history shows a pattern of brake wear and failure, including thin pads in 2016 and 2019, and the more serious caliper leak and parking brake failure in 2025. These recurring issues suggest the braking components are reaching a stage of significant wear or degradation. The suspension and steering also require scrutiny. The tester flagged excessive play in the offside front wheel bearing in October 2021, following an advisory for slight play in the same component in October 2020. While these were resolved, the combination of high mileage and previous bearing wear means the drivetrain and suspension bushes should be checked for any current play or noise.
