2015 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · EX65 NFL

The 2015 Hyundai i30 holds a current MOT valid until 25 July 2026, having passed its most recent test on 25 July 2025 at 116,307 miles. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, though not without recurring minor electrical niggles. The same nearside registration plate lamp fault appeared in both the 2024 and 2025 tests, suggesting a persistent wiring or bulb holder issue that has never been permanently resolved. A tyre pressure monitoring system malfunction was also flagged during the 2025 retest, indicating the TPMS sensor or module requires attention. These are low-severity advisories, but their recurrence hints at a pattern of deferred minor repairs rather than proactive fault rectification. Mileage accumulation sits at roughly 10,573 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The record shows a steady climb from 103,877 miles in June 2023 to 109,595 miles in July 2024, then to 116,307 miles by July 2025, representing approximately 6,700 miles over the most recent twelve-month period. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings, and the annual test intervals are consistent. The vehicle appears to have been used regularly rather than left standing for extended periods. The June 2023 failure is the most technically significant entry in the record. The tester flagged a corroded front sub-frame and general corrosion underneath the rear of the vehicle. While the sub-frame was assessed as not seriously weakened at that time, underbody corrosion is a progressive concern on vehicles of this age, particularly if the car has been used on salted roads or in damp climates. A prospective buyer should arrange an inspection of the sub-frame, suspension mounting points, and rear underseal condition. Surface rust can be managed, but any pitting or flaking around structural points warrants closer scrutiny. Beyond corrosion, the recurring electrical faults deserve a quick on-site check. The TPMS warning and the persistent registration plate lamp issue could stem from corroded connectors or failing sensors rather than expensive component replacements. Tyre condition and brake wear should also be verified in person, given the mileage and the absence of any recorded brake or suspension advisories in recent years, which could simply mean they have been replaced without documentation. Overall, the record points to a mechanically sound car with minor, repeatable faults and a known corrosion history that merits a thorough underside inspection before purchase.
