2008 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · AP08 KCJ

The most recent MOT test on 16 May 2024 resulted in a failure, though the record does not specify the exact defects that caused the non-compliance. This failure follows two consecutive years of clean passes in May 2023 and May 2022, where no defects or advisories were noted. The sudden shift from two years of passing with no issues to a failure in 2024 suggests a recent deterioration in roadworthiness or a specific component failure that was not present in the previous testing cycles. The vehicle has covered 151,474 miles over its 18-year lifespan, averaging approximately 8,415 miles per year. This mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The records provided cover a three-year period from May 2022 to May 2024, but they do not provide the specific mileage at each individual test interval to confirm if the recent usage has accelerated or remained steady. Because the 2024 failure lacks specific defect details, a physical inspection is necessary to identify the cause of the recent failure. A buyer should focus on common wear items that often trigger sudden failures, such as brake pad thickness, disc corrosion, or tyre tread depth. Given the age and total mileage, the inspection should also prioritise checking the structural integrity of the chassis for corrosion and examining suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, for signs of fatigue or play.
