2012 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · SH12 ACO

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its most recent January 2026 MOT at 113,783 miles. The prior two tests in 2025 and 2023 also showed no issues, indicating consistent maintenance. However, a failed MOT on 2025-01-23 at 106,844 miles—despite no defects listed—raises questions about potential discrepancies in the record. The absence of recurring mechanical or structural faults suggests the car has been well-maintained, but the failed test warrants further investigation to confirm its validity. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,127 miles annually. The 2023-11-14 test at 96,229 miles and 2022-10-29 test at 89,177 miles show regular intervals between inspections, with no significant gaps or rapid mileage spikes. The 2025-01-23 test, however, appears duplicated with conflicting outcomes, which may indicate administrative errors. Overall, the data lacks anomalies that would suggest neglect or excessive wear. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time. Brake discs and calipers should be inspected for uneven wear or corrosion, as these are common issues in older vehicles. The exhaust system and underbody corrosion, especially in areas prone to road salt, warrant scrutiny. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the failed test and duplicate entry highlight the importance of a physical inspection to confirm the car’s mechanical integrity.
