2017 Hyundai I30 1.0L Petrol · EO67 LCK

The March 2026 MOT at 64,031 miles declared the 2017 Hyundai i30 roadworthy with no defects recorded. The vehicle showed improvement after the April 2025 failure, which listed rear shock leakage, tyre separation and rear brake binding, and the subsequent April 2025 test passed, confirming that repairs were completed. The March 2026 result therefore reflects a stable condition with no current mechanical or structural concerns. The recorded mileage of 64,031 miles equates to roughly 7,115 miles per year, which is typical for a nine‑year‑old car. The gap between the September 2020 test at 30,611 miles and the April 2022 test at 39,443 miles spans about 18 months and adds 8,832 miles, indicating regular use. A larger increase to 59,489 miles by the April 2025 failure suggests more intensive driving in the intervening period, while the two‑day rise to 64,031 miles in the March 2026 test shows normal annual accumulation. A buyer should inspect the rear suspension for fluid leakage and the condition of the shock absorber bushes, verify tyre tread depth and look for any signs of structural separation, and examine the rear brake system for binding or excessive wear on the discs and pads. Visual checks of the wheel arches, sills and underbody for corrosion are advisable, given the history of structural tyre failures. Finally, the condition of the tyre sidewalls, brake pads, and suspension bushes should be confirmed before purchase.
