2010 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · CX10 WMT

The Hyundai i30 presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT pass on 14 October 2025 at 58,813 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with the vehicle clearing every test that it eventually presented for. Two earlier failures on 7 October 2025 and 4 October 2023 at identical mileages to the subsequent passes show administrative re-tests rather than mechanical faults, as the DVSA record lists no defects on either occasion. Recorded mileage sits at 58,813 against a 2010 build, equating to roughly 3,676 miles per year. The car covered just 3,399 miles between the October 2023 test (51,414 miles) and October 2024 (55,327 miles), then 3,486 miles to October 2025. This low annual use over sixteen years suggests extended standing periods, which commonly accelerates perishing of rubber suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls, and brake caliper seizing through inactivity rather than wear. The clean advisory history gives no flagged corrosion, worn coil springs, or binding brakes to chase. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside structural integrity and brake disc condition, since long idle spells hide surface rust and sticky calipers that a no-defect test may not capture at the time of examination. Given the sparse but clean record, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic test compliance. The twin failure-then-pass pairs at same-day mileages imply paperwork or presentation issues, not deferred mechanical work. Verify service receipts to confirm fluids and consumables were renewed despite the low mileage.
