2018 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · FP18 UBD

The Hyundai i30 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 29 April 2025 at 88,006 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual test from April 2023 through April 2025 ending in a pass or a same-day pass after an administrative fail. No advisories or mechanical faults appear on any record, indicating the vehicle has not accumulated flagged wear in suspension, braking, or structural areas during this period. Mileage rose from 67,426 at the 17 April 2023 test to 79,733 by 19 April 2024, then to 88,006 by 29 April 2025. That equates to roughly 11,300 miles per year, consistent with the 11,001 annual average for an eight-year-old car. The records show no gaps longer than twelve months and no sudden accumulation, suggesting steady private or light-use commuting rather than high-stress driving. The two failed entries on 17 April 2023 and 29 April 2025 list no defects, which points to documentation or clerical issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of consumable items not captured by a clean MOT, notably tyre tread depth, brake disc wear, and suspension bushes given the car is now eight years old. The absence of corrosion or exhaust advisories in the records implies previous owners kept the bodywork and emissions systems in acceptable condition, but DVSA tests do not measure hidden rust or intermittent electrical faults. Given the sparse but clean history, verify the 29 April 2025 failure reason with the test centre and confirm the odometer reading matches the logged 88,006 miles. The vehicle shows no worsening pattern, yet a pre-purchase check of coil springs and binding calipers remains sensible on any used hatchback of this age.
