2013 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · FL63 TVP

The Hyundai i30 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 August 2025 at 111,369 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken clean run since the single failure in August 2023. The owner has cleared every test for the past three years without accruing advisories on brakes, suspension, or corrosion, which indicates consistent baseline upkeep rather than deferred rectification. Mileage sits at a typical 8,567 miles per year for a 2013 car, and the record supports that profile. The vehicle covered 12,959 miles between the August 2022 test at 87,118 miles and the August 2023 test at 100,077 miles, then only 9,416 miles to August 2024 at 109,493 miles, and a modest 1,876 miles to the 2025 test. The DVSA history is sparse, with just five entries across the period shown, but every pass since 2023 carries no advisories, so no wear trends are visible in the data. The only blemish is the failure on 18 August 2023 at 100,075 miles, reversed the next day at 100,077 miles with a pass and no defects logged. This pattern suggests a trivial or administrative rejection, likely a documentation or minor presentational issue rather than a mechanical fault, since the retest found nothing. No recurring suspension bushes, coil spring, brake disc, or exhaust emission problems appear across the record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car is now 13 years old, and verify the brake calipers and tyres are free of age-related degradation not captured by the clean MOTs. The absent advisories mean no specific component requires targeted investigation, but the sparse test count warrants confirming service history independently.
