2012 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · SL12 ACF

The Hyundai i30 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT test on 14 August 2025 at 98,819 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable. Prior to this, the vehicle passed cleanly on 20 August 2024 at 89,616 miles and on 9 August 2023 at 79,648 miles, with no advisories logged at any stage. Two failed tests on 19 August 2024 and 9 August 2023 at identical mileages to the subsequent passes suggest administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical faults, as the records show no defects cited on either failure. The odometer shows 98,819 miles against a 2012 build, averaging roughly 7,058 miles per year, which is typical for the age. Annual increments are consistent: 79,648 miles in August 2023, 89,616 in August 2024, and 98,819 in August 2025, giving around 9,000 to 10,000 miles per year across the recorded period. The DVSA data is sparse but clean between passes, with no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns raised across the five-year window. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle is fourteen years old, as MOT cleanliness does not rule out surface rust on sills or subframes. The brake calipers, coil springs, and tyre condition warrant hands-on checks despite no advisories, since consumable wear between tests is not captured. The same-day fail-and-pass pattern in 2023 and 2024 implies the previous owner addressed minor non-mechanical compliance promptly, but verify the V5C and any retest paperwork to confirm no suppressed defects.
