2012 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · EF62 FFV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 2 October 2025 at 102,504 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently achieved clean passes without recorded advisories or defects. While the history shows two test failures in 2023 and 2025, the owner successfully addressed the underlying issues immediately to secure a pass in the subsequent re-tests. At 102,504 miles over 14 years, the car has averaged approximately 7,300 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage intervals, with roughly 4,000 miles driven between December 2023 and October 2024, and another 4,000 miles leading up to the October 2025 test. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which helps to prevent the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific components that caused the failures in December 2023 and October 2025, although the provided summary does not list the exact mechanical reasons for those failures. Given the age and mileage, it is vital to manually inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and structural integrity for signs of corrosion, particularly on the chassis. The lack of advisories on the most recent certificate indicates the vehicle was in good condition then, but a thorough check of the brake discs and tyre wear remains necessary to ensure no new issues are beginning to manifest.
