2010 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · LD10 LFO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a history of consistent passes despite minor electrical setbacks. The most recent test conducted in March 2023 at 133,663 miles resulted in a pass following an immediate failure for an inoperative registration plate lamp. Since that date, the record shows no further recorded defects or advisories, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable operating parameters over the last three years. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,354 miles per year. Between the March 2020 test at 90,011 miles and the 2023 test at 133,663 miles, the car covered 43,652 miles over three years. This indicates regular use rather than long periods of stationary, which often leads to internal degradation of rubber components and seals. The intervals between tests remain annual, providing a reliable data set for tracking the vehicle's long-term condition. A physical inspection should focus on the rear suspension assembly, as the March 2021 test at 100,787 miles flagged play in the offside rear lower anti-roll bar linkage. While this was not noted in subsequent tests, these components are prone to wear and can cause knocking if left unaddressed. The buyer should also examine the tyres for sidewall damage, as the 2021 record indicated a history of perishing and low tread on the offside rear. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for corrosion on the sills and exhaust mounting points is necessary to ensure structural integrity remains as sound as the MOT history suggests.
