2008 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · EK08 KXV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its clean testing history over the last several years. The most recent inspection conducted in June 2022 at 138,008 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and electrical systems met the minimum standard at that time. Since the minor electrical failure in 2020, the car has maintained a consistent record of passing tests without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per annum. Between July 2020 and July 2021, the car covered 20,000 miles, showing a period of higher usage compared to the 14,000 miles recorded between the 2021 and 2022 tests. There is now a significant gap of four years since the last recorded MOT in June 2022, meaning the current certification is long expired and requires an immediate inspection to ensure no new faults have developed during this period of inactivity. While the MOT history is clean of structural corrosion or suspension failures, a buyer must focus on age-related degradation that MOT tests do not always capture. Given the high mileage and the age of the vehicle, the rubber components such as suspension bushes and bushings should be checked for cracking or perish. The brake system requires an inspection for caliper seizing or disc corrosion, as the long gap since the last test may have allowed for moisture-related rust if the vehicle sat stationary.
