2010 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · MA60 GKG

The vehicle currently holds a PASSED MOT on 2026-06-18 at 109,724 miles, indicating that the most recent test was performed approximately two years ago and has remained stable in performance. While the 2025-10-16 test passed without structural issues, the 2024-09-13 test failed on the rear parking brake, suggesting a recurring failure mode that may persist into the future. The 2024-09-09 failure on the rear hydraulic brake calliper and the 2024-09-09 failure on the nearside parking brake indicate a consistent pattern of wear on the suspension and braking systems, which could lead to imminent issues if not addressed. The mileage accumulation is relatively uniform at approximately 6,858 miles per year, placing the car in the typical age range for its model. However, the gap between the 2025-10-16 and 2024-09-13 tests, which was 1,943 miles, is a significant gap that may suggest the owner has not maintained the vehicle regularly or may have driven it for less than 1,000 miles between tests. This lack of maintenance history is a critical factor, as it implies that the car may have accumulated wear on the suspension components and brakes without any preventative servicing. Given the history of three failed MOTs and the presence of structural corrosion on the rear sub-frame and coil springs, the vehicle requires immediate inspection. Buyers should verify the condition of the rear suspension bushings and springs, which are prone to corrosion and potential failure. The brakes must be checked for binding calipers and the condition of the brake discs, as the 2024-09-09 test flagged a leaking calliper. Additionally, the 2024-09-09 failure on the nearside parking brake and the 2024-09-09 failure on the front anti-roll bar linkage indicate that the rear suspension and braking systems are not in good condition and may require full inspection and replacement within the next few months.
