2009 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · MT59 AEU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and demonstrates a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 2 July 2025 at 65,204 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows failures on the same day as the passes in both 2024 and 2025, the lack of listed defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor issues rectified instantly during the test. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2009 model, averaging roughly 3,836 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between January 2023 and June 2024, where the odometer rose from 54,933 to 65,105 miles. Since June 2024, the car has covered only 100 miles, indicating it has been largely stationary for over a year. Low-mileage vehicles that stand for long periods often develop specific issues not always captured in a brief MOT. A buyer should physically inspect the tyres for flat spots or perishing and check the brake discs for surface corrosion or binding calipers. The battery health and fluid conditions should be verified, as stagnation can lead to premature degradation of rubber seals and hoses. The absence of advisories across the last three years suggests the car has been well preserved. However, given the vehicle's age, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the underbody and suspension bushes is recommended. The lack of recorded faults is positive, but the recent inactivity makes a mechanical sympathy check essential before purchase.
