2011 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · EO11 AFA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of inconsistent testing. The most recent inspection on 6 October 2025 at 67,142 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This followed a failure just one week prior on 29 September 2025 at 66,913 miles, though the record shows no specific defects for that failure, which suggests a potential administrative error or a minor component issue that was rectified immediately rather than a deep-seated mechanical failure. At 67,142 miles, this 15-year-old Hyundai shows exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. The data indicates consistent low-use patterns, with 4,176 miles driven between the October 2023 and October 2024 tests, and another 4,217 miles covered since that. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often increases the risk of rubber-based components, such as suspension bushes, hoses, and tyres, degrading through perishation and dry periods rather than mechanical friction. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most susceptible to age-related degradation rather than mileage-based wear. Given the low annual usage, check for early structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, as moisture often settles on stationary vehicles. Inspect the brake discs for surface pitting and seized calipers, as infrequent use can lead to uneven wear and binding. The clean history of the last two years suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, but the age necessitates a thorough look at fluid integrity and aged rubber seals.
