2010 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · SD60 ADO

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 24 October 2025 at 35,616 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern of passing tests without any flagged advisories or mechanical failures over the last three years. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2010 model, averaging roughly 2,226 miles per year. Between 3 November 2023 and 24 October 2025, the odometer increased by only 4,090 miles. This suggests the car has spent significant periods stationary or has been used for very short journeys, which carries different risks than high-mileage wear. A buyer should focus on components that degrade due to age and inactivity rather than usage. Check for perishing rubber seals, cracked suspension bushes, and potential brake caliper seizure or disc corrosion, as these often affect low-mileage vehicles. The lack of recorded faults in the MOT history is positive, but it does not account for the condition of the engine oil or coolant, which may have degraded during long periods of standing. Verify the tyre date codes during a physical inspection. Even if the tread depth is sufficient, tyres on a vehicle this age with such low mileage may be chemically aged and prone to cracking. Ensure the battery holds a strong charge and check for any signs of rodent damage to the wiring looms, a common issue for cars that sit idle.
