2017 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · VO67 ACF

The 2025‑11‑17 MOT confirms a pass despite multiple tyre breaches and a failed anti‑roll bar ball joint dust cover, showing that the vehicle’s maintenance trend is inconsistent rather than steadily improving. The test flagged worn, cracked and perishing tyres and a compromised suspension component, signalling ongoing wear that has not been fully addressed since the previous test. From the 2020 test at 69,372 miles the mileage climbed to 139,509 miles by the 2025 test, a gain of 70,137 miles over just over five years, which translates to an average annual mileage of about 14,000 miles and a sharp rise of more than 10,000 miles between the 2023 and 2024 inspections. The interval from the 2021 test at 72,605 miles to the 2023 test at 120,850 miles added 48,245 miles in two years, indicating heavy usage, while the 2024 to 2025 jump of 8,465 miles in a single year further underscores the high annual mileage. A buyer should inspect the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs and anti‑roll bar ball joint for play or corrosion, verify that the brake discs and calipers show no binding or excessive wear, and examine the tyre tread depth and side‑wall condition for the cuts and perishing noted in the record. The record shows no structural rust advisories, yet this does not guarantee absence, so a visual check of the chassis and wheel arches is advisable. The tyre pressure monitoring system must be confirmed functional, as the 2023 failure indicates a possible sensor or wiring issue. The combination of high mileage, recurring tyre defects and suspension wear suggests that consumable items such as tyres, wiper blades and suspension components have been neglected, while the underlying mechanical systems may be approaching the end of their service life, making a thorough in‑person inspection essential for assessing true roadworthiness.
