2010 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · FG10 AEM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 March 2026 at 82,396 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently met testing standards over the last two years. While the record shows two failures in March 2024 and March 2026, the immediate passes following these tests indicate that any identified defects were addressed promptly rather than being allowed to develop into persistent mechanical failures. The mileage profile is notably low for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,150 miles per year. The data shows a consistent pattern of use, with roughly 9,900 miles covered between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 9,205 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. This low annual mileage reduces the overall wear on drivetrain components and engine internals, though it can increase the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components and fluid breakdown due to periods of stationary operation. A buyer should investigate the specific causes of the failures in March 2024 and March 2026, as the summary does not list the exact components involved. Given the low mileage and age, these failures likely relate to age-sensitive items such as seized brake calipers, perished tyres, or minor leaks rather than heavy mechanical fatigue. A physical inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion and the suspension bushes is essential, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface rust if not regularly driven to clear out moisture.
