2013 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · EN62 XOV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership pattern. The most recent test on May 1, 2026 at 87,908 miles resulted in a failure due to a non-functional side repeater and four worn tyres. While the car passed immediately after these rectifications, the presence of four tyres being worn to the legal limit suggests the owner waits for an MOT failure to address basic consumables rather than replacing them during scheduled servicing. At 87,908 miles over 13 years, the car averages approximately 6,700 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-mid range domestic usage. The mileage progression shows consistent use, with roughly 8,300 miles driven between May 2024 and May 2025, and another 10,200 miles in the year leading up to the May 2026 test. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, though the age increases the likelihood of rubber component degradation and minor corrosion despite the relatively low mileage. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system, as the parking brake failed the efficiency test at 77,719 miles in May 2025. Although it passed subsequently, the mechanical tension or the state of the rear shoes should be inspected for proper adjustment. The uneven edge wear noted on all four tyres in 2026 also points to potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes, which require a physical inspection to prevent further premature wear on new rubber. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the underbody for structural corrosion is also necessary to ensure the integrity remains sound beyond what the MOT tester identifies.
