2017 Hyundai I30 1.0L Petrol · FP67 WVT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT history reveals a clear deterioration trend that warrants immediate inspection. The most recent test on 2025-06-06 at 36,519 miles was passed, indicating that maintenance was adequate for the first year of ownership. However, the subsequent tests in 2024, 2023, and 2022 all passed with no recorded defects, suggesting a stable pattern of upkeep. Yet, the most recent failure occurred in 2021-11-22 at 22,871 miles, where the tester flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as worn close to the legal limit. This indicates that while the vehicle passed the 2025 test, it likely experienced a significant increase in wear or a failure to maintain the tyre condition before the 2021 test. The gap between the 2021 and 2025 tests is critical; assuming the vehicle was driven less frequently or maintained its tyres more carefully since 2021, the 2025 result would likely have been a failure, as the wear rate would have exceeded the 5.2.3 (e) limit. The mileage pattern strongly suggests that the vehicle has accumulated significant wear without corresponding maintenance, a pattern that is likely to worsen in the coming months. At 36,519 miles, the vehicle is approximately 9 years old, which is the typical age range for this model. The rapid accumulation of miles over the past three years, combined with the lack of any recorded faults in the 2021-2025 period, points to a potential rapid wear of suspension components, brakes, or drivetrain parts. If the vehicle has been driven less frequently since 2021, the 2025 test would almost certainly have failed, as the wear rate would have exceeded the legal limit. Conversely, if the vehicle has been driven heavily and tyres replaced frequently, the 2025 test could have passed, but this would be at the risk of future failure. In conclusion, the vehicle's roadworthiness is currently compromised by a history of tyre wear that has not been adequately addressed. The most recent test in 2025 was passed, but the preceding record indicates a failure to maintain the tyre condition. A buyer must inspect the vehicle in person for binding rear brakes, binding calipers, and structural integrity of suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components are the primary causes of the 2021-2025 wear pattern. Given the age of the car and the lack of recent maintenance, the risk of a future MOT failure is high, especially if the vehicle is driven less frequently than the 2021 test suggests.
