2021 Hyundai I30 N Line Mhev T-GDI 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · ST71 CHF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-04-21 at 15,918 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but a concurrent failure entry on the same date raises questions about data accuracy. No structural, brake, or suspension issues were flagged in the history, suggesting a stable maintenance trend. However, the absence of subsequent tests beyond April 2025—nearly 15 months prior to this assessment—limits confidence in ongoing roadworthiness. The low mileage of 15,918 miles for a five-year-old vehicle implies infrequent use, which may mask wear on components like tyres, fluids, or electrical systems. The 2024-09-20 MOT at 12,795 miles also passed with no defects, indicating consistent compliance up to that point. The 7-month gap between tests saw a 3,123-mile increase, averaging 446 miles per month—a rate consistent with minimal usage. This pattern suggests the vehicle may have been stored for extended periods, increasing risks of battery degradation, fluid stagnation, or corrosion in underbody components. While no advisories were noted, the sparse record lacks data on critical areas like exhaust emissions, steering alignment, or suspension bushings, which could deteriorate without regular operation. Buyers should prioritise inspecting the battery’s condition, checking for fluid leaks, and testing the brakes for binding or uneven wear. The low mileage may hide age-related issues, such as dry-rotted tyres or seized suspension joints, which require physical verification. A thorough check of the exhaust system for rust and the chassis for corrosion is also advised, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate these problems. The lack of recent MOTs means the vehicle’s current state remains unverified beyond April 2025.
