2010 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · DA60 CWR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in December 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, though a minor failure in that same test due to a non-functional front windscreen washer indicates a lapse in basic pre-test checks. Prior to this, the vehicle maintained a clean record for several consecutive years, suggesting that the core mechanical and structural components have remained in good condition during recent inspections. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 16-year-old vehicle, with only 23,550 miles recorded representing an average of approximately 1,472 miles per year. The data shows consistent, infrequent usage between 2022 and 2025, where the car covered just 1,402 miles over three years. While this low mileage generally implies less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, such patterns often lead to issues related to stagnation, particularly regarding components that require regular operation to remain lubric. A buyer must pay close attention to the braking system, noting that the November 2024 test at 22,836 miles flagged thin rear brake pads and corroded, pitted discs. These issues are typical of a vehicle that sits for long periods, as moisture-induced rust accumulates quickly on metal surfaces. An inspection should verify that the calipers are not seized and that the rear brake hardware has been properly replaced. Additionally, given the low mileage, the rubber components such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls should be checked for cracking or rot, which often occurs due to age regardless of distance driven.
