2011 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · EN11 HWR

The overall roadworthiness status is currently failing, with the most recent MOT test in late 2025 resulting in a failed condition for the rear brake pad. This indicates that the vehicle has not maintained its mechanical integrity since at least December 2025, placing it outside the recommended 3-year MOT window. The failure of the rear brake pad in the September 2025 test is a critical finding, as this component is essential for safety and failure of this specific type of brake indicates a serious mechanical risk requiring immediate attention. The mileage pattern suggests that the vehicle was maintained at a very low frequency, likely due to the low mileage recorded (69,677 miles). Given an approximate 15-year age, such a low mileage accumulation is anomalous and may reflect a lack of regular servicing. The gap between the most recent date (December 2025) and the first MOT (September 2025) is roughly 13 months, which is insufficient for a vehicle of this age to safely operate. This gap suggests that the owner has been skipping routine maintenance, potentially leading to premature wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and wear on critical components such as the suspension system, brakes, and drivetrain. The failure of the rear brake pad and the inoperative registration lamp in the September 2025 test confirm that the vehicle has not passed the required safety checks. While the lack of defects in the 2025 and 2023 tests shows that the vehicle passed these tests, the recurring failure of the brake pad in the most recent test indicates that the system is not functioning as designed. The buyer must verify that the vehicle has undergone a full inspection and that the brake system is in good condition, as the lack of a passing MOT in the most recent test means the vehicle is not roadworthy.
