2014 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · JD08 KJD

The Hyundai i30 presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 28 May 2025 at 91,113 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The DVSA entries show no defects at any stage, and the latest test cleared the car cleanly just over thirteen months before today's date. Prior to that, the vehicle failed and passed on the same day in both May 2024 and May 2025, though neither failure listed any recorded defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical faults. Mileage has accumulated at a typical rate for a 2014 vehicle, rising from 74,523 miles at the June 2023 test to 83,602 miles in May 2024 and 91,113 miles by May 2025. That equates to roughly 7,600 miles per year, consistent with the expected average and showing no sudden spikes or prolonged dormancy. The recorded history is sparse but entirely clean, with no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or corrosion across the three-year span. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. The same-day fail-and-pass pattern in 2024 and 2025 with no defects logged warrants verification that the vehicle was genuinely presented correctly and not subject to repeated test centre errors. Given the car is now twelve years old and past 90,000 miles, structural integrity around sills and subframes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness should be checked for age-related wear not captured by the MOT entries. The absence of recorded advisories does not exempt the i30 from consumable replacement. At this mileage, expect impending needs for wiper blades, tyre renewals, and possible suspension bush degradation. The previous owner's consistent annual testing and clean results suggest reasonable upkeep, but only a workshop inspection will confirm the underlying mechanical condition.
