2012 Hyundai I30 1.6L Petrol · FJ61 TTK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The latest test conducted on 09 June 2025 at 82,025 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a clean pass in June 2024 at 79,712 miles, suggesting that the owner has maintained the vehicle to a standard that prevents recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,859 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between December 2021 and May 2023, during which the car covered only 217 miles over seventeen months. Since that period, usage has increased slightly, covering roughly 3,000 miles in the year leading up to the 2025 test. This low mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or internal fluid breakdown. The single failure on 10 May 2023 at 79,160 miles was resolved immediately, as the vehicle passed the retest eight days later. Because no advisories have been recorded in the last two years, there is no documented evidence of worsening issues with suspension bushes, brake calipers, or exhaust corrosion. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection for structural rust on the sills and wheel arches, as low-mileage cars often suffer from age-related oxidation rather than mileage-related wear. Checking the condition of the tyres and brake fluid is also advisable to ensure the periods of inactivity have not caused cracking or moisture absorption.
