2017 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · EY17 ABF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 27 August 2025 at 42,733 miles with no defects recorded. While the car failed a test one week prior on 20 August 2025, the record shows no specific defects for that failure, suggesting a clerical error or a minor issue resolved immediately. The mileage is exceptionally low for a nine year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,748 miles per year. Usage has remained consistent and light, as seen in the progression from 24,839 miles in March 2022 to 34,984 miles by July 2024. The most recent interval between July 2024 and August 2025 shows a moderate increase of 7,749 miles, indicating the car is currently in more regular use than in previous years. The MOT history is remarkably clean, with no advisories or failures related to suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion across five years of testing. This lack of recorded wear suggests a well-maintained vehicle or very light duty cycles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Check for perished rubber seals, tyre age and cracking, and potential battery degradation caused by periods of inactivity. Since the MOT record is devoid of mechanical flags, verifying the service history for oil changes and fluid flushes is the priority to ensure the engine has not suffered from long-term standing.
