2010 Hyundai I30 1.6L Petrol · SL60 AAF

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable maintenance profile with a clean bill of health in its most recent inspection. The test on 10 December 2025 at 98,598 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting a vehicle that has been kept in a roadworthy state without the typical degradation seen in cars of this vintage. The mileage is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 6,162 miles per year. The distance covered between the 8 December 2022 test at 83,289 miles and the most recent test in December 2025 shows a steady accumulation of mileage. There are no erratic jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or hidden mechanical seizure. A single failure occurred on 23 November 2023 at 88,064 miles, though it was resolved within two weeks for the successful test on 6 December 2023. The absence of any recorded advisories over the last four years is unusual for a sixteen year old vehicle. It implies a proactive approach to maintenance where consumables like brake pads, tyres, and wiper blades were replaced before they reached a failure threshold. A physical inspection should focus on areas the MOT tester may have overlooked or that do not always trigger a failure. Check for surface corrosion on the chassis and sills, as structural rust is a common issue for this era of Hyundai. Verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for hairline cracks. While the record is clean, a manual check of the oil and coolant condition will confirm if the internal engine health matches the external MOT success rate.
