2009 Hyundai I30 1.6L Petrol · CX59 VLS

The Hyundai i30 presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 30 May 2025 at 93,879 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the three years of available history. The vehicle cleared the June 2023 test at 83,281 miles and the June 2024 and May 2025 tests at 89,404 and 93,879 miles respectively, all with clean sheets. No advisories or mechanical faults appear in any entry. Recorded mileage sits at 93,879 against a 2009 build, averaging roughly 5,522 miles per year. That is low for a seventeen-year-old car. The gaps between tests show gentle accumulation: 6,123 miles over the year to June 2024, then 4,475 miles to May 2025. Low use of this kind often means long standing periods, which can allow corrosion to take hold on sills, subframes, and brake components even when the MOT shows nothing. The May 2025 and June 2024 records each list a failed test at the same mileage as the pass on the same day, with no defects noted. This points to administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than a mechanical rejection. The owner corrected whatever halted the first attempt and secured the pass immediately. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the car. Check suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related degradation the MOT did not capture. Examine exhaust emissions hardware and structural integrity around the floor and arches for rust fostered by low-mileage dormancy. The clean record is reassuring, but seventeen years will test seals and mountings regardless of the odometer.
