2017 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · EM67 LJM

The vehicle presents in a strong roadworthy condition with a highly stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 24 March 2026 at 49,704 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that all mechanical and structural components currently meet the minimum safety standards. Following a single failure in August 2024, the vehicle has maintained three consecutive passes without recorded advisories, suggesting that the owner is proactive in addressing faults as they arise. The mileage profile is low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. Data shows a consistent usage pattern, with the car covering 7,755 miles between August 2023 and August 2024, and another 5,503 miles between August 2024 and March 2026. This low annual mileage typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to higher-mile examples, though the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to flat-spotted or degraded rubber components if the car sits stationary for extended periods. While the MOT history shows no recurring mechanical failures like structural corrosion or brake issues, a physical inspection should focus on components prone to age-related degradation despite low mileage. You should check for cracking in suspension bushes and perished rubber seals, which can occur over nine years regardless of distance. Given the low usage, it is also prudent to inspect the brake discs for surface rust or pitting that often happens when vehicles are not driven frequently enough to clear away surface oxidation.
