2011 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · EF61 CCU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT history, though it shows a recurring pattern of neglected consumable maintenance. The July 2025 test at 103,669 miles resulted in a pass, but the tester flagged a near-side rear tyre for cracking and perishing. This follows a similar advisory in June 2023 at 96,132 miles where both rear tyres were noted for heavy cracking. While the vehicle consistently passes its inspections, the repeated advisories regarding tyre condition suggest a pattern of deferred maintenance regarding rubber components. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year over the last five years. The record shows a steady progression from 89,365 miles in July 2021 to 103,669 miles in July 2025. This low-to-moderate annual usage indicates the car has not been subjected to heavy long-distance motorway driving, which may reduce wear on certain drivetrain components but can lead to the perishing of rubber seals and tyres seen in the recent records. A prospective buyer should focus on the condition of the tyres and braking system during a physical inspection. The July 2024 test at 100,152 miles identified thinning front brake pads, and the June 2022 test at 92,091 miles noted front tyres worn close to the legal limit. Given the history of tyre degradation and brake wear, a thorough check of the remaining tread depth, sidewall integrity, and brake disc surface condition is necessary. The headlamp clouding noted in 2024 also warrants a check to ensure light output remains sufficient for night driving.
