2011 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · DF11 FUJ

The vehicle presents a stable and currently sound roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 16 April 2026 at 112,312 miles with zero defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a notably poor test on 28 July 2022 at 103,205 miles, where the car failed on multiple electrical, structural, and braking defects. The subsequent tests in January 2023, March 2024, and April 2025 show a clear resolving trend, with only minor advisories such as a worn headlamp lens and a borderline tyre, culminating in the current fault-free pass. The maintenance trajectory is firmly improving, indicating the previous owner addressed the serious 2022 failures promptly. The mileage accumulation is entirely consistent with typical use for a 2011 vehicle. Between the July 2022 failure at 103,205 miles and the April 2026 test at 112,312 miles, the car covered 9,107 miles over roughly 3 years and 9 months, averaging around 2,400 miles annually during that period. Earlier, between January 2023 at 103,258 miles and March 2024 at 104,818 miles, only 1,560 miles were added in over a year, suggesting a period of light use or standing. The record shows no suspicious gaps or implausible jumps, and the overall annualised figure of approximately 7,487 miles aligns with normal driving patterns. Despite the clean recent test, the 2022 failure exposed significant braking and suspension concerns that warrant a physical inspection. The tester flagged all four brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored, both rear service brakes as excessively binding, and both front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust covers as degraded. A buyer should verify the quality of the replacement braking components and check for any residual drag or uneven wear at the rear axle. The insecure front bumper and multiple lamp failures also suggest the car may have sustained minor impact damage or suffered from poor electrical connections. Inspect the bumper mounting points, headlamp lens condition for moisture ingress, and test all exterior lights and door mechanisms thoroughly.
