2013 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · EY13 TDO

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted in October 2025 at 47,139 miles resulted in no defects recorded, maintaining a clean sheet for the last several years. This follows a period of consistent passes in 2024 and 2022, indicating that the primary mechanical and safety components have remained within operational tolerances without recurring failures or escalating degradation. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. Between the 2022 test at 37,689 miles and the 2025 test at 47,139 miles, the car covered only 9,450 miles. This low usage suggests minimal wear on the engine and drivetrain components, though the single failure in October 2023 at 40,978 miles indicates a minor issue occurred just before a re-test which was rectified immediately to achieve the subsequent pass later that same month. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to low-mileage neglect. While the MOT record is clean, vehicles that sit for long periods often suffer from perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes or seized brake calipers. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking regardless of remaining tread depth. Given the age of the vehicle, verifying the structural integrity of the chassis for hidden rust remains essential to ensure the low mileage has not masked a lack of environmental protection.
