2020 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · FH69 VZD

The vehicle presents a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT test on 26 June 2025 passing without any recorded defects at 36,739 miles. The complete absence of advisories or failures across the entire history indicates diligent upkeep and a lack of recurring mechanical issues. This pattern suggests the previous owner maintained the car to a high standard, addressing wear items before they escalated into failures. However, the current MOT certificate expired over a month ago, meaning the vehicle's present roadworthiness relies entirely on a physical inspection rather than a current pass certificate. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,123 miles per year. Between 30 January 2023 at 19,998 miles and 29 January 2024 at 28,381 miles, the car covered 8,383 miles. The subsequent year, from 29 January 2024 to 25 January 2025, saw a reduction to 5,560 miles. The most recent interval, spanning 25 January 2025 to 26 June 2025, recorded just 2,798 miles over five months. This tapering of annual mileage indicates a shift toward lighter, more localized use in the latter half of the vehicle's life. Despite the flawless MOT record, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to deterioration from short journeys and standing time, given the recent drop in annual mileage. Examine the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion, which can develop rapidly if the vehicle sits unused for extended periods. Check the tyre sidewalls for perishing, as the rubber ages regardless of tread depth. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for early signs of corrosion, and verify the condition of the exhaust system for rust, particularly around the welds and mounting points.
