2014 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · RO64 UJM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 31 October 2025 at 117,339 miles. However, the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to mechanical upkeep. The car failed just one day prior at 117,326 miles due to a thin offside front brake pad, a binding caliper, and a worn, pitted disc. While these issues were rectified for the pass, the history suggests the owner only addresses faults once they reach the point of failure. The mileage is consistent with a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, with a jump of 12,275 miles between the 2022 and 2023 tests and another 10,000 miles between 2023 and 2024. This regularity suggests the car has been used consistently rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which generally benefits the health of the rubber components and prevents internal parts from seizing. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front braking system, as the tester has flagged worn or pitted discs in every single test since 2022. The recurring mention of a binding offside caliper in 2025 suggests a potential issue with the caliper piston or sliders that could cause uneven pad wear. You should also check the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as the record does not provide advisories for these components despite the high mileage.
