2020 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · LS70 DSY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 December 2025 with 35,055 miles. This latest inspection resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. The maintenance trend appears improving, as the vehicle moved from a recorded brakerelated in the prior year to a completely clean sheet. The mileage pattern is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between the December 2023 test at 23,772 miles and the December 2024 test at 23,844 miles, where only 72 miles were recorded over the year. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, such long periods of standing can lead to corrosion on brake components and degradation of rubber seals due to lack of active use. A buyer should verify the front braking system during a physical inspection. The 2024 test flagged the front discs as pitted or scored at 23,844 miles, suggesting these were likely replaced or rectified before the 2025 test. Given the low mileage and potential for sitting, it is essential to check for uneven pad wear or seized calipers that often result from periods of inactivity. Also inspect the suspension bushes and tyres for age-related cracking, as low-mileage vehicles age more through time than through distance.
