2011 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · RE11 ACZ

This 2011 Hyundai i30 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passes over the last three years. The most recent test on 27 June 2025 at 100,777 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed its tests on 24 June 2024 and 27 June 2025, the lack of recorded defects suggests these were likely administrative failures or minor issues rectified immediately on the same day. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age. It has covered approximately 6,718 miles per year, showing steady usage rather than periods of prolonged standing. Between the June 2023 test at 89,486 miles and the June 2025 test at 100,777 miles, the car averaged roughly 5,600 miles annually. This level of use typically prevents the seizing of brake calipers and the perishing of rubber components associated with low-mileage vehicles. The absence of advisories across the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests is unusual for a fifteen-year-old vehicle. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT tester may have overlooked or that do not trigger a failure, specifically structural corrosion on the sills and chassis. Given the age, checking for wear in the suspension bushes and the condition of the coil springs is advisable to ensure the chassis remains tight. Verify the service history to confirm that oil changes and filter replacements have occurred regularly. The MOT record shows a clean bill of health, but it does not track the internal health of the engine or the condition of the gearbox. A manual check of the brake disc thickness and tyre tread depth will confirm if the previous owner maintained consumables proactively or simply kept the car to a minimum legal standard.
