2014 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · CU14 THF

The Hyundai i30 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 5 June 2025 at 86,073 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior annual examinations in May 2024 at 78,041 miles and March 2023 at 72,611 miles also passed cleanly, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening mechanical condition across its recent cycle. The only blemish is a failed test on 27 March 2023 at 72,611 miles, reversed two days later on 29 March 2023 at identical mileage with no defects listed, which suggests an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a repair requirement. Recorded mileages show light to average use for a 2014 vehicle, rising from 66,239 miles in March 2022 to 86,073 miles by June 2025, a total of 19,834 miles over roughly three years or about 6,600 miles per year. This sits below the suggested 7,173 annual average and implies gentle private motoring rather than high-load commuting. The DVSA data is sparse on advisories, with every pass carrying no defects and no corrosion, brake, suspension, or emissions concerns logged across the five entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car is now twelve years old, as MOT passes with no defects do not confirm absence of early-stage rust on sills or subframes. The clean brake and suspension record means worn coil springs, degraded bushes, or binding calipers have not been flagged, but tyres, wiper blades, and disc wear should be visually checked against the 86,073-mile figure. The March 2023 fail with no defects recorded warrants a request for the original refusal reason from the seller to rule out a documentation error before purchase.
