2017 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · AF67 DLX

The 2017 Hyundai i30 presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 September 2025 at 31,751 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of annual passes since 2021. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year DVSA history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work at any test stage. Annual mileage has remained consistently low for a nine-year-old car. The record shows 14,401 miles at the 3 September 2021 test, rising to 18,648 by 2 September 2022, 22,772 by 5 September 2023, 27,618 by 6 September 2024, and 31,751 by 3 September 2025. That equates to roughly 4,100 miles added each year, or about 3,500 miles per annum across the vehicle's life. The clean sheet across all entries means no consumable neglect or structural issues surfaced, though low use combined with the steady annual increments suggests the car spent periods stationary between short local journeys. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the fault-free record. Standing time at low mileage accelerates perishable component degradation that MOT tests may not catch between visits. Check suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for stiffness or corrosion from disuse. Verify underbody structural integrity and exhaust condition for trapped moisture rust. Confirm service history matches the low-mileage pattern and that fluids, tyres, and brake discs received scheduled attention rather than only MOT-driven checks. The absence of advisories is a positive signal, but it does not substitute for physical assessment of wear items the tester had no cause to flag.
