2014 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · EN63 RYA

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test in February 2026 at 73,802 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This streak suggests that the previous owners have been proactive in addressing minor issues before they escalate into MOT failures, avoiding the decline typically seen on vehicles of this age. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old car, averaging approximately 6,150 miles per year. Between January 2022 at 48,495 miles and February 2026 at 73,802 miles, the vehicle covered 25,307 miles, showing a steady usage profile. There are no significant gaps that would suggest long periods of inactivity, which often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber components, brake seals, and fuel systems. The low mileage relative to the age of the car means the drivetrain and suspension components have faced less stress than their high-mileage counterparts. Because the MOT record shows no recurring advisories or structural weaknesses, a physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than mechanical neglect. The buyer should check for surface corrosion on the sills and exhaust system, as rust can develop over time regardless of low mileage. Inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking, and verify the brake discs for pitting if the car has sat for short periods. Given the clean history, the vehicle appears to be a well-maintained example that has likely followed a regular service schedule.
