2012 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · KX12 FLB

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status based on the most recent MOT test conducted on 2025-07-02 at 106,719 miles. The maintenance history shows a stable pattern of recurring issues across multiple tests, particularly regarding suspension and braking components. The testing in July 2025 flagged the front and rear brake pads as wearing thin, a condition that was also noted in the July 2024 test. This indicates that the wear on the braking system is ongoing and requires attention. Mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, registering approximately 7,623 miles per year between the 2023 and 2025 tests. The mileage progression is steady, suggesting regular use rather than long periods of standing. However, the history reveals a persistent failure to address specific mechanical items. The coil spring corrosion noted in the 2023 test reappeared in the 2024 test, and the deterioration of the front lower suspension ball joint cover and the slight play in the anti-roll bar linkage were flagged in the 2024 inspection. A buyer should inspect the suspension system thoroughly for ball joint wear and check the condition of the coil springs, as corrosion is a recurring fault. The brake system requires immediate attention to replace the worn pads, and the front anti-roll bar linkage should be checked for play. The minor oil leak noted in the 2024 test should also be investigated to ensure no further fluid loss is occurring. While the vehicle is currently legal, the history points to a need for proactive maintenance on these specific mechanical areas.
