2012 Hyundai I30 Classic Crdi Blue DRI 1.6L Heavy oil · SF12 EAY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a clear improving trend in its mechanical presentation. The most recent inspection conducted in November 2025 at 121,062 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a clean pass. This follows two consecutive clean passes in 2023 and 2024, suggesting that the owner has maintained high operational standards in recent years. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. There is a notable three-year gap between the May 2020 test at 106,977 miles and the June 2023 test at 120,527 miles, during which the car covered only 13,550 miles. Since then, the mileage accumulation has steadied, with roughly 400 miles recorded between the subsequent annual tests. This regularity suggests a pattern of consistent use rather than long periods of stationary neglect. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that previously showed issues in 2020. That test flagged a nearside rear brake binding and a nearside front tyre worn to the edge. While the recent records show these faults were rectified, a manual check of the brake caliper movement and suspension alignment is necessary to ensure the binding has not returned. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough examination of the underbody for corrosion on structural sills and mounting remains essential, as the MOT history does not explicitly detail structural rust progression.
