2010 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · RO10 CYX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership pattern. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 122,373 miles passed, the record shows a broken central exhaust mounting and a defective offside headlamp. This follows a failure in December 2024 where a snapped exhaust hanger and a non-functional nearside rear stop lamp failed. The trend suggests the owner addresses faults only when they trigger an MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 122,373 miles represents an annual average of approximately 7,650 miles, which is consistent with typical light domestic use. The data shows steady usage intervals, with roughly 7,100 miles covered between March 2023 and December 2023, and another 4,300 miles between December 2024 and January 2026. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation which often lead to degraded rubber components and seals. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The December 2023 test identified play in the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage and noted corrosion on both rear lower suspension arms. Furthermore, the parking brake efficiency only marginally met the requirement, and front brake discs were noted as pitted and scored. The recurring issues with tyres worn to the legal limit and uneven edges across multiple tests indicate poor alignment or basic neglect of consumable upkeep. The buyer should verify that the noted corrosion on the suspension arms has not progressed into structural failure.
