2016 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · EY66 HEU

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 23 July 2025 at 105,204 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to June 2022, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance and a lack of recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 10,520 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between July 2023 and July 2024, where the odometer rose from 78,404 to 91,299 miles. A further 13,905 miles were covered leading up to the July 2025 test. These figures indicate the car has been used regularly rather than sitting idle, which generally benefits engine health and prevents seals from perishing. The record shows a failure on 22 July 2024 at 91,294 miles, though the data lists no specific defects for that failure. This is likely a clerical error or a minor administrative issue given the vehicle passed five miles later on the same day. The absence of any advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions over the last four years is uncommon for a vehicle of this age and mileage. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the underbody for structural corrosion, as MOT testers often overlook surface rust that does not yet compromise integrity. Given the mileage has now exceeded 100,000, checking the service history for timing belt or chain maintenance and clutch wear is advisable. The lack of recorded faults suggests a well-maintained example, but the high annual mileage makes a manual check of tyre tread and brake pad thickness necessary to ensure consumables are not nearing their limit.
