2012 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · EF62 EEM

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 4 March 2026 at 93,885 miles, though this followed an initial failure on the same day for non-functioning dipped beam and position lamps. The pass certificate includes multiple advisories indicating ongoing wear: the offside front tyre is worn close to the legal limit, both front brake pads are thin, both rear brake discs are pitted and scored, the offside front track rod end has slight play, and the nearside front windscreen is damaged. The maintenance trend is stable but shows consistent wear on consumable items like tyres and brake pads, with the new advisory for worn brake discs and a steering joint suggesting these components are now reaching the end of their service life. The prior pass on 8 March 2025 at 86,977 miles only flagged thin front brake pads, confirming a gradual deterioration in braking system components. The recorded mileage demonstrates a consistent annual usage pattern. From 83,101 miles on 14 February 2024 to 86,977 miles on 8 March 2025 represents approximately 3,876 miles over 13 months, a normal rate. The subsequent year to 93,885 miles on 4 March 2026 shows an increase of 6,908 miles, aligning closely with the calculated average of 6,706 miles per year for the vehicle's age. There are no unexplained gaps or periods of extreme inactivity in the digital record, suggesting the mileage is likely genuine and reflective of regular, moderate use. The single clean pass in February 2024 indicates a period of satisfactory maintenance before wear items re-emerged. A buyer must physically inspect the front tyres for tread depth and edge wear, the brake pads for remaining thickness, and the condition of both rear brake discs for deep scoring or warping. The offside front track rod end ball joint requires particular attention for any detectable free play, as this is a critical steering component. Verify all lighting functions are now operational following the previous failure. While the windscreen damage is noted as not impairing visibility, its location and severity should be assessed. No structural corrosion or major suspension component failures are indicated in the history, but the advisories point to a vehicle requiring imminent attention to its braking and steering linkage to maintain roadworthiness.
