2014 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · NG14 AAJ

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on July 18, 2026, at 53,463 miles with no defects recorded, indicating the car is currently in a state of roadworthiness according to the tester. However, the history shows a recurring pattern of minor wear-related issues. In the July 2025 test at 50,909 miles, the tester noted the nearside front tyre was damaged, and a similar issue appeared in July 2023 at 45,041 miles where the offside front tyre showed uneven wear. These entries suggest that while the vehicle is maintained, the alignment or tyre pressure may require monitoring to prevent premature scrubbing. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 53,463 represents a very low average of approximately 4,455 miles per year. This low-usage profile often leads to degradation of rubber-based components rather than mechanical wear from distance. This is evidenced by the 2021 test at 38,230 miles, where the nearside anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover was found severely deteriorated. While the vehicle passed that test, such deterioration is common on cars that sit for long periods, as seals can dry out and crack without regular use. The braking system showed signs of marginal performance in the June 2017 test at 21,052 miles, where the front brakes were recorded as imbalanced and just meeting the legal requirements. No subsequent tests flagged brake issues in the following nine years, suggesting the owner likely addressed the imbalance or the system stabilized. Given the low mileage, a buyer should still inspect the brake discs for corrosion or seized calipers, as low-frequency vehicles are prone to surface rust on the components that are not frequently cleaned by friction.
