2009 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · MT59 AEW

The vehicle showed a clean MOT pass on 21 October 2022 at 105,787 miles, with the tester recording no defects or advisories. This outcome, alongside passes in November 2019, November 2020 and October 2021, points to a stable maintenance trend across the recorded period. A curious failure on 17 October 2022 at 105,625 miles listed no defects, then a pass followed four days later. Against today's date of 13 July 2026, the latest test sits nearly four years stale, so present roadworthiness remains unconfirmed by the dataset. Mileage advanced from 70,547 on 15 November 2019 to 79,498 on 4 November 2020, then 92,868 on 25 October 2021 and 105,787 by late October 2022. Those steps represent 9,951, 13,370 and 12,919 miles per interval, comfortably above the lifetime average of 6,223 miles per year and indicating lighter early use. The sparse DVSA record ends in 2022. No entries cover the subsequent three-plus years, leaving recent accumulation and upkeep unknown. Prior keepers logged no advisories on suspension, brakes or corrosion, but a 2009 hatchback of this age requires hands-on scrutiny. The buyer must inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, measure brake disc wear and test for binding calipers, and assess sills, subframes and mountings for corrosion that threatens structural integrity. Exhaust emissions and tyre condition should be verified despite clean papers. The unexplained fail with zero noted defects suggests a clerical gap or an off-record rectification before retest. Request the failure documentation from the seller. Given the long silence since October 2022, commission an independent mechanical appraisal before committing funds.
