2010 Hyundai I30 1.6L Petrol · WV10 ABZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing tests. The most recent inspection conducted in February 2026 at 62,157 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets minimum safety standards. While a failure occurred in February 2024, the immediate retest on the same day suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying identified issues without allowing the vehicle to remain unroad. The mileage profile is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,885 miles per year. Between February 2023 and February 2026, the car covered 6,083 miles, showing a consistent pattern of use at roughly 2,000 miles annually recently. This low usage typically implies less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of low mileage operation can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components such as suspension bushes, seals, and tyres due to perish rot rather than distance traveled. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age rather than high mileage. Given the clean MOT records, it is vital to check for early stage structural corrosion on the sills and floor pans, which is common in vehicles of this era regardless of distance driven. Additionally examine the brake discs for pitting or corrosion, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface rust. Checking the age of the tyres for sidewall cracking is also essential to ensure they are not perished despite having sufficient tread depth.
