2015 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · PF65 NWC

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its latest MOT in February 2026 at 98,327 miles with no recorded defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend following a period of significant neglect in early 2025. While the most recent test suggests the car is in good order, the history indicates it previously suffered from multiple mechanical and lighting-related failures that were only addressed after a failed result. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eleven-year-old Hyundai, averaging out approximately 9,000 miles per year. The record shows a steady accumulation of 7,000 miles between February 2024 (85,724 miles) and February 2025 (91,321 miles), followed by another 7,000 miles leading into the 2026 test. This regularity suggests the vehicle has seen regular use rather than sitting for long periods of which, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of rubber components and braking systems. A physical inspection should focus heavily on the front suspension assembly. The February 2025 failure revealed multiple issues including worn wishbone rear bushes, ball joints with play, and missing split pins on locking devices. Although these were cleared in the subsequent pass the very next day, a buyer should verify that these components were actually replaced with high-quality parts rather than merely adjusted for the test. The previous report of front tyres worn to the legal limit on the edges also indicates a potential alignment issue that warrants a check of the current geometry and tyre wear.
