2012 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · EK62 YBL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 7 January 2026 at 115,990 miles with no recorded defects. The earlier failure on 23 January 2024 for an excessive play in the off‑side front track rod end ball joint and an inoperative nearside rear parking brake was rectified before a subsequent pass on the same day, indicating that the maintenance trend has stabilised rather than deteriorated. Mileage has risen from 86,772 miles at the 24 January 2023 test to 115,990 miles at the latest inspection, averaging roughly 8,300 miles per year over the 14‑year lifespan. This progression is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age; there are no abrupt spikes or prolonged gaps that would suggest periods of neglect or unusually heavy duty operation. A prospective buyer should verify that the front track rod end ball joint remains free of play and that the rear parking brake engages correctly on both sides, as these components were the only items to trigger a failure in the recorded history. Inspection of the suspension bushes, brake discs and pads, and tyre tread depth is advisable to confirm that normal wear aligns with the mileage accrued. Checking for any signs of corrosion around the wheel arches and undercarriage will also help ensure that no hidden structural issues have developed since the last MOT.
