2009 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · WN09 LLA

The Hyundai i30 presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 4 August 2025 at 116,061 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and clean across the available history, with every recorded annual test returning a pass and no advisories logged at any stage. A failed entry appears on the same date and mileage as the pass, yet the DVSA record shows no defects cited, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage progression sits close to typical use for a 17-year-old vehicle. The owner covered 4,776 miles between the July 2022 test at 101,739 miles and the July 2023 test at 105,277 miles, then 4,776 miles again to the August 2024 test at 110,053 miles, and a further 6,008 miles to the August 2025 test at 116,061 miles. Annual averages of roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles reflect light-to-moderate use with no sudden accumulation spikes or dormant gaps that would suggest prolonged standing or heavy commercial duty. The absence of any recorded advisories across five consecutive tests implies the previous keeper addressed consumable wear before each examination and kept corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust emissions within limits. Buyers should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity beneath the sills and subframes, as a 2009 vehicle can develop hidden rust not visible during a brief MOT ramp check. Given the duplicated 4 August 2025 entries, confirm with the seller which certificate reflects the valid roadworthiness status and verify the V5C matches the 116,061-mile odometer. Beyond that administrative check, the clean MOT lineage gives no mechanical red flags, though a pre-purchase check of tyre sidewalls, coil springs, and binding calipers remains prudent on a car of this age.
