2010 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · SC59 KVZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on March 25 2024 at 141,350 miles with no recorded defects. While the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful retests, the owner has consistently addressed the necessary issues to maintain legal compliance. The lack of recurring advisory notes across the last three passing tests suggests that mechanical and structural components remain within acceptable tolerances for the age. The mileage profile is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 8,834 miles per year over its sixteen-year life. A gap of 5,968 miles occurred between the February 2022 test (124,601 miles) and the February 2023 test (130,569 miles), while a more significant 10,781-mile interval was recorded between the February 2023 and March 2024 tests. This steady usage indicates the car has been driven regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which helps prevent internal degradation of seals and brake components. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the areas that triggered the failures in February 2023 and March 2024. Although the record does not list the specific defect codes for those failures, immediate passes often involve consumable items such as light bulbs, wiper blades, or minor exhaust adjustments. Given the high mileage and age, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion on the rear sills and the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs is essential to ensure no hidden wear has developed since the last test two years ago.
