2016 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · AF16 WJA

The Hyundai i30 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 April 2025 at 66,007 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the preceding annual tests show the same clean outcome. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year DVSA history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the recorded period. The odometer sat at 44,144 miles for the 30 April 2022 test, rose to 51,489 by 29 April 2023, 59,313 by 27 April 2024, and 66,007 by April 2025. That equates to roughly 6,600 to 7,800 miles added each year, a pattern consistent with the 6,601 annual average for a 2016 car. The record is sparse but entirely clean; the only anomaly is a failed entry on 27 April 2024 at 59,313 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass on the same date, which suggests an administrative or procedural error at the testing station rather than a mechanical concern. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. Ten years of service can conceal corrosion to structural members, worn suspension bushes, or fatigued coil springs that a pass with no advisories would not capture. The brake discs, calipers, and exhaust emissions system should be checked for latent wear, and the undertray reviewed for accumulated road salt or dampness. Given the low annual mileage, the i30 likely saw gentle use, yet standing periods between short journeys can accelerate tyre sidewall cracking and flat-spotting. Verify the actual condition of consumables and confirm the 2024 duplicate test entry with DVSA before purchase.
