2016 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · RK16 AAV

The vehicle presents a clean MOT history with the most recent test on 16 February 2026 at 101,664 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Maintenance trend is stable, with consecutive annual passes showing no advisories or failures across the recorded period. The i30 is roughly ten years old with 101,664 miles, averaging about 10,166 miles per year. The records show consistent yearly increments: 74,142 miles in April 2022, 80,258 in February 2023, 88,691 in February 2024, 96,659 in February 2025, and 101,664 in February 2026. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation appear; the longest interval was the eleven-month gap between April 2022 and February 2023, which still reflects normal use. The data is sparse beyond five tests but uniformly clean. Since no tester flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, braking systems, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across those dates, the official record implies previous owners kept the car to a standard that avoided statutory defects. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of wear-prone components such as brake disc thickness, tyre tread depth, and underbody structural integrity given the mileage. The absence of advisories does not exempt the vehicle from age-related degradation of rubber mounts and exhaust hangers. Prior to purchase, examine the service history to confirm fluid changes and timing belt interval compliance. The MOT evidence alone shows no worsening mechanical trend, but high-mileage Hyundai i30 models often develop minor oil seepage or worn suspension arms that a road test would reveal. Buyers should perform physical checks on the 2016 chassis for rust at sills and subframe despite the clean tests.
