2015 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · CE65 JXA

This Hyundai i30 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 17 February 2026 at 135,987 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to September 2023, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The vehicle has covered 135,987 miles over eleven years, averaging roughly 12,362 miles per year. This is high usage for this model, which typically increases the wear on drivetrain and suspension components. There was a significant jump in usage between September 2023 and March 2025, where the mileage rose from 108,398 to 126,563. The record shows a failure and immediate pass on the same day in September 2024, though the lack of recorded defects suggests a minor administrative or easily rectified issue. Despite the clean MOT history, the high mileage necessitates a targeted physical inspection. The absence of advisories is positive, but the tester does not always flag gradual wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs if they remain within legal limits. A buyer should check for signs of oil leaks and assess the condition of the brake pads and tyres, as these consumables wear faster on high-mileage vehicles. Particular attention should be paid to the underside for any signs of corrosion, especially on the structural sills and subframes. While the MOT record shows no structural failures, the age and mileage of the car make it susceptible to rust in the UK climate. Verifying the service history for timing belt or chain replacements and fluid changes will confirm if the mechanical upkeep has matched the clean MOT record.
