2013 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · CV13 OKJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile despite a history of intermittent MOT failures. The most recent test on 18 September 2025 at 96,263 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests that the owner is proactive in rectifying issues immediately to ensure compliance, as the vehicle has maintained zero advisories across the last two successful testing cycles. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. Between August 2023 and August 2024, the car covered 6,241 miles, while it added another 6,036 miles in the thirteen months leading up to the September 2025 test. This steady rate of accumulation indicates low-to-moderate use, which typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and high-stress mechanical components like the clutch, gearbox, and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage counterparts. While the current record shows no active advisories, a buyer should investigate the specific reasons for the failures in August 2023 and 2025. Since the records do not list the specific defect codes, a physical inspection is required to check for signs of recurring issues such as weeping shocks, worn bushes, or exhaust leaks. Given the age of the vehicle, verifying the structural integrity against corrosion corrosion and checking the condition of the rear control arms is essential to ensure that the clean MOT history is not masking underlying component degradation.
