2017 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · DP17 JWN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing tests. The most recent inspection on 08 April 2026 at 80,450 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This follows a period of clean-test results over the previous three years, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids major mechanical failures or structural degradation during the annual testing process. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. Between the 2024 test at 52,680 miles and the April 2025 test at 70,197 miles, the car covered nearly 17,500 miles, indicating a period of higher usage. The failure on 07 April 2026 at 80,440 miles occurring just one day before the successful test is unusual given that no defects were recorded, likely pointing to an administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately prior to the retest. Since the MOT record shows no recurring faults or persistent advisories, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear items associated with this mileage. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these often begin to show wear around 80,000 miles. Checking the brake discs for uneven wear or thinning is also prudent, as the MOT test does not fully account for binding calipers or pad thickness unless they pose an immediate safety risk.
