2010 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · EA10 CWK

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-11 at 136,558 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, a prior failure on 2026-03-02 at 135,777 miles—also with no defects—suggests potential administrative or procedural issues, as the same test date range shows inconsistent outcomes. The absence of recorded faults in both tests implies the car met minimum legal standards, but the lack of detailed defect notes limits insight into underlying mechanical health. Mileage progression shows a consistent annual pattern, with 136,558 miles at 16 years old averaging 8,535 miles per year, aligning with typical usage. Notable gaps include a 4,340-mile increase between the 2025-03-17 test (112,590 miles) and 2024-03-06 (108,250 miles), followed by a 23,968-mile jump to 136,558 by 2026-03-11. This rapid accumulation may indicate increased wear on components like tyres, brakes, and suspension, though no specific issues were flagged. The MOT history lacks recurring defects, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to meet legal thresholds without significant mechanical intervention. A buyer should inspect for common wear points in 2010-era Hyundais, including suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust emissions systems, which may degrade over 136,558 miles. While no structural corrosion or brake-related faults were recorded, the absence of detailed defect notes means visual checks for rust, binding calipers, or uneven brake disc wear are critical. The vehicle’s MOT record reflects compliance but offers limited evidence of proactive maintenance beyond legal requirements.
