2018 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · CV68 SSK

The Hyundai i30 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 September 2025 at 23,524 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results since the vehicle's first recorded MOT. No advisories or mechanical faults have appeared across the five tests on file, indicating the car has not entered a worsening or recurring fault pattern. Annual mileage has stayed consistently low for an eight-year-old vehicle. The record shows 9,492 miles at the 10 September 2021 test, rising to 13,854 by 23 August 2022, 17,222 by 8 September 2023, 21,108 by 3 September 2024, and 23,524 by 2 September 2025. That equates to roughly 2,900 miles added each year with no gaps or sudden accumulation. Such light use suggests the i30 spent long periods standing, which the clean MOT history supports but does not confirm through inspection. A buyer should still verify in person the components the MOT cannot assess for deterioration under low-use storage. Standing vehicles commonly develop perished rubber suspension bushes, flat-spotted tyres, and surface corrosion on brake discs or underbody structures even when test results stay clear. The tester recorded no binding calipers or exhaust emissions issues, yet these can emerge quickly once the car sees regular road use. Given the sparse but clean record, the priority is a physical check of tyre sidewalls, brake disc condition, and any structural rust around sills and subframes. The previous owner clearly kept basic statutory upkeep current, but the low annual distance means consumable and weather-related wear from inactivity remains the main risk rather than high-mileage mechanical fatigue.
