2010 Hyundai I30 1.6L Petrol · CV10 PXH

The Hyundai i30 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 March 2026 at 79,893 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual tests from 2023 through 2025 also show clean passes. The single failure on 10 March 2025 at 77,421 miles listed no defects, with the vehicle passing two days later on 12 March 2025 at the same mileage, indicating an administrative or retest anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 79,893 against a 2010 build, averaging roughly 4,993 miles per year. The odometer moved from 71,020 in March 2023 to 74,837 in March 2024, then 77,421 in March 2025, and 79,893 in March 2026. Annual accumulation stays near 2,500 to 3,500 miles, confirming light use for the age. Low throughput like this often means longer standing periods, which can allow corrosion and perished rubber components to develop even when test results stay clean. No advisories appear across the five-year record, so the MOT data alone shows no recurring suspension bushes, coil spring, brake disc, or exhaust emission concerns. The absence of flagged items suggests previous owners kept basic statutory compliance but tells us nothing about underlying wear hidden between tests. A buyer should still inspect underside structural integrity for rust, check brake calipers for binding after standing, and verify tyre sidewall condition given the low-mileage storage pattern. Given the 2026 test sits roughly four months from today's date, the certificate remains current and the history implies conscientious if minimal-use ownership. Physical inspection should focus on age-related perishing rather than high-mileage drivetrain fatigue.
