2014 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · FL14 CHR

The Hyundai i30 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 November 2025 at 100,151 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 10 November 2023 at 74,944 miles confirms a two-year run of clear results. The vehicle shows no escalating faults or recurring advisories across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at a typical level for a 2014 car, averaging roughly 8,346 miles per year. The record moves from 62,430 miles on 11 November 2022 to 74,944 miles in November 2023, then 85,566 miles in November 2024, and 100,151 miles by November 2025. Annual accumulation stayed consistent at around 11,000 to 14,000 miles, with no standing periods or sudden jumps that would hint at neglected storage or harsh use. The 5 November 2024 entry shows both a fail and a pass on the same day at 85,566 miles, but the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Given the clean MOT sequence, the buyer should still carry out a physical inspection of consumable items not always captured at test. Check brake disc thickness and pad wear, as the car has covered over 37,000 miles since the 2022 test without any flagged brake concern. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for age-related fatigue, and inspect the underbody and sills for corrosion given the vehicle is now twelve years old. The absence of advisories across five tests suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, though a no-defect record is not a substitute for a workshop check. Verify service history and confirm the timing belt interval for this engine has been met before purchase.
