2018 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · RE68 AAX

The 2018 Hyundai i30 stands roadworthy as of the latest DVSA examination on 2 September 2025 at 33,444 miles, which returned a pass with no defects logged. The maintenance trend is stable across the recorded history, with every test from November 2023 onward showing no mechanical or structural faults. In the September 2024 test at 26,518 miles the vehicle passed cleanly, following a failed attempt on 3 September 2024 that also recorded no defects. Mileage accumulation sits well below typical averages for an eight-year-old hatchback. The odometer read 22,912 miles on 2 November 2023, rose to 26,518 miles by 4 September 2024, and reached 33,444 miles by 2 September 2025. That equates to roughly 3,600 miles in the first interval and 6,900 in the second, still low annual use near 4,180 miles per year. The sparse record shows two instances of same-day fail and pass on 2 November 2023 and a next-day reversal in September 2024, anomalies that imply administrative rejections rather than worn components. Previous keepers appear to have maintained the car to a standard that avoided advisories on tyres, brakes, or suspension. No recurring defects or advisories appear in the dataset, so the buyer faces no flagged structural rust, worn coil springs, or binding calipers. Low mileage and likely prolonged standing periods can nevertheless conceal perished suspension bushes, lightly corroded brake discs, or tyre sidewall cracking invisible to the tester. A physical inspection should target the front suspension arms, rear beam mounts, and brake calipers for free movement after storage. The duplicate failure entries without defects warrant a check of the V5C and MOT certificate to confirm test authenticity.
