2013 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · SC13 OYM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass on 24 June 2025 at 102,903 miles. The maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern where the owner addresses specific mechanical failures immediately upon a test result. While the most recent test failed eight days prior at 102,623 miles due to excessive play in both front track rod end ball joints, the subsequent pass indicates these components were rectified. This suggests the vehicle is maintained to legal standards rather than through a rigorous preventative schedule. At 102,903 miles over thirteen years, the Hyundai has averaged approximately 7,900 miles per year. This figure aligns closely with typical national averages for a car of this age. The mileage progression shows consistent use, with roughly 9,600 miles covered between June 2024 and 2025, and another 8,600 miles between June 2023 and 2024. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long stationary periods which can degrade seals and rubber components. A buyer should inspect the front suspension geometry closely, as the failure of track rod ends in 2025 often indicates wear in related steering components or ball joints. The 2024 failure regarding a split nearside front drive shaft CV boot necessitates a physical inspection for grease leakage or heat damage to the outer joint, which can lead to premature failure if ignored. Additionally, the 2023 record highlighted multiple tyre issues including perishing and uneven wear, suggesting the previous owner occasionally neglected basic consumable upkeep until an MOT failure forced action. Current tread depth and sidewall condition on all tyres should be verified to ensure these issues have been resolved.
