2007 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · EK57 ACF

The 2007 Hyundai i30 presents a broadly stable roadworthiness picture. The most recent test on 3 September 2025 at 194,520 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the same date also shows a failed test with no defects listed, an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Across the prior three years the vehicle passed cleanly at 187,674 miles in September 2023, 179,863 miles in July 2022, and 192,110 miles in October 2024, indicating no recurring advisories or worsening trends in suspension, braking, or structural integrity. Recorded mileage sits at 194,520 against an age of nineteen years, equating to roughly 10,200 miles per annum and reflecting typical use for a fleet-style hatchback. The gap between the July 2022 test at 179,863 miles and the September 2023 test at 187,674 miles shows modest annual accumulation of under 8,000 miles, while the jump to 192,110 by October 2024 and 194,520 by September 2025 confirms a slight rise in yearly cover. The DVSA data is sparse, with no advisories on coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage, so the record alone implies consistent basic upkeep rather than deferred consumable replacement. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the suspension bushes, subframe, and sills given the car's high total mileage and age, as MOT passes with zero advisories do not capture incipient wear below failure thresholds. The twin 3 September 2025 entries warrant a check of the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm the failure was a clerical duplicate and not a concealed defect. Verify in person that tyres, wiper blades, and fluid levels match the clean test history before purchase.
