2014 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · NV14 WJM

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate. The most recent test on 13 October 2025 at 165,253 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a pattern of clean certificates dating back to April 2023, suggesting the current owner maintains the car to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is high for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging roughly 13,771 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between April 2023 and April 2024, where the odometer rose from 130,506 to 148,132 miles. More recently, the vehicle covered 22,297 miles between April 2024 and October 2025. This high-mileage trajectory puts increased stress on the drivetrain and chassis compared to a typical city car. Despite the clean MOT history, the high mileage necessitates a targeted physical inspection of wear-and-tear components. A buyer should specifically check the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these often degrade at this mileage even if they pass a basic shake test. The brake discs and pads should be measured for remaining thickness to ensure they are not nearing their wear limits. Inspect the underside for signs of corrosion, particularly on the subframes and sills, as the record does not provide detail on structural integrity beyond a pass. Check the engine oil and coolant for contamination and listen for timing chain noise or clutch slip. While the DVSA records show no faults, the sheer volume of miles suggests that major service items may be due for replacement soon.
