2011 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · EF61 BVC

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 15 August 2025 at 118,176 miles, indicating a clean bill of health with no recorded defects or advisories. While the test history shows initial failures in both 2024 and 2025, these were rectified immediately within the same day, suggesting these were likely minor administrative or procedural issues rather than significant mechanical failures. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has passed its annual inspections consistently over the last three years without any recurring component failures. The total recorded mileage of 118,176 over fifteen years averages approximately 7,878 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows a noticeable increase in usage between August 2023 and August 2024, where the vehicle covered roughly 12,540 miles, followed by a more moderate accumulation of 6,957 miles in the subsequent year. This pattern suggests the car has been kept in regular operation rather than remaining stationary for extended periods, which generally helps prevent issues related to seized components or stale fluids. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common wear items on the i30 platform that may not always trigger an MOT failure until they reach an advanced state of degradation. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check for surface corrosion on the subframes and brake lines is necessary, even if the MOT record remains clear. Inspect the brake discs and pads for signs of uneven wear or scoring, as the absence of advisories in the test history does not preclude the need for routine replacement of these consumables.
