2013 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · AL11 NNL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 14 July 2025 at 154,000 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates the car met all legal requirements for safety, emissions, and structural integrity at the time of testing. The recorded mileage of 154,000 miles is consistent with the vehicle's 13-year age, averaging roughly 11,846 miles per year. This steady usage pattern suggests the car has been used regularly rather than left to stand, which generally helps prevent seals from perishing and braking systems from seizing. The lack of data prior to the 2025 test prevents a full longitudinal analysis of wear, but the current clean sheet is a positive indicator. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components typical for a vehicle of this mileage. While the MOT record shows no current faults, 154,000 miles puts significant stress on suspension bushes, coil springs, and engine mounts. Check for any play in the steering rack and inspect the underside for surface corrosion, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points. Verify the condition of the brake discs and pads. Even a clean MOT pass does not guarantee that consumables are not nearing the end of their service life. Check the service history for evidence of timing belt or chain maintenance and oil change intervals, as the MOT test does not evaluate internal engine health or drivetrain longevity.
