2016 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · TS65 MCD

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance history. The most recent test conducted on October 7, 2025, at 25,134 miles passed with no defects or advisories. This consistent streak of clean passes over the last five years indicates that the vehicle has remained in a good mechanical state without the progressive wear or degradation typically seen in cars of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per year. Between October 2021 and October 2025, the car covered only 2,869 miles, showing a very consistent rate of use of roughly 700 miles per annual interval. This low usage suggests minimal strain on the drivetrain, engine components, and braking system, though such infrequent use can sometimes imply the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods between test dates. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on specific areas associated with low-mileage vehicles. Long periods of standing can lead to flat spots on tyres, perished rubber components, and seized brake calipers or sticking pistons. It is vital to inspect the brake discs for signs of surface corrosion and ensure the suspension bushes have not cracked from age and lack of movement. The structural integrity shows no history of rust issues, but a visual check of the underbody for early-stage corrosion remains standard practice for a vehicle of this era.
