Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2010 Hyundai i30 has a concerning MOT history with repeated issues, especially in brakes, tyres, and lighting. The most recent test on 2026-02-24 showed multiple failures including worn front tyres near legal limits, thin rear brake pads, and brake binding. These issues were also present in previous tests, indicating ongoing problems. Brake-related defects have been consistent since at least 2025, with thin pads and binding rear brakes appearing repeatedly. The tyre wear is also persistent, particularly on the front nearside tyre. This suggests either aggressive driving, poor maintenance, or prolonged periods of inactivity leading to uneven wear. The vehicle’s condition trend appears to be worsening. While the 2024 test was clean, the last two tests show increasing numbers of failures. Lighting issues, including headlamp defects and indicator colour problems, are also recurring. Suspension and sub-frame corrosion have been noted but are not yet critical.
