2015 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · GU15 ULF

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently poor , as evidenced by the failure of the most recent MOT test on 2026-04-01 at 100,835 miles, which resulted in a Pass. This indicates that the vehicle has not met the safety requirements for its age and mileage, despite passing the previous two tests in 2025. The maintenance history shows a clear deterioration trend, with the most recent test failing on the same date as the previous one, suggesting that the issue has not been resolved and the vehicle is in a state of continuous deterioration. The mileage pattern indicates that the vehicle has experienced rapid accumulation of wear, particularly on the suspension and drivetrain components, which is a significant concern for a 2015 model. The test dates show a gap between the most recent failure and the previous pass, which may imply that the vehicle was driven for a substantial period without proper maintenance, or that the mileage has been increased due to usage rather than wear. The significant gap between the last two tests (2025-04-02 and 2025-03-29) suggests that the vehicle has not been maintained for a long time, which is a critical factor in determining its true roadworthiness. To assess the vehicle's condition for a buyer, the inspector must inspect the suspension, brakes, and structural integrity, as these components are the primary focus of the recurring faults. The most recent test flagged binding rear brakes and excessive play in track rod end ball joints, which are serious structural risks that require immediate attention. The failure of the offside headlamp on the most recent test also highlights a critical mechanical failure that must be addressed to prevent further damage. The buyer must verify the condition of the suspension bushings and coil springs, as well as the brake discs and calipers, to ensure that the vehicle is not in a state of imminent danger.
