2019 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · WP69 NJF

The most recent MOT, conducted on 11 November 2025 at 45,551 miles, resulted in a pass, but the tester flagged an offside front inner brake disc as worn, pitted, or scored, though not seriously weakened. This is the only defect recorded in the latest test, and it represents a notable shift from the completely clean bill of health seen in the November 2024 test at 38,567 miles. The maintenance trend is currently stable but shows a slight downward trajectory, with a minor mechanical advisory reappearing after a year of zero defects. The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the recurrence of a brake disc advisory warrants attention. The mileage accumulation is consistent and predictable for a seven-year-old vehicle. Between the November 2022 test at 26,322 miles and the November 2024 test at 38,567 miles, the vehicle covered approximately 12,245 miles in two years, averaging just over 6,100 miles annually. The final jump from November 2024 to November 2025 saw only 6,984 miles added, indicating a slight reduction in annual use. There are no suspicious mileage gaps or implausible reversals in the record, and the overall total of 45,551 miles aligns with the stated annual average of roughly 6,507 miles. The MOT history reveals a recurring pattern with front brake discs. In November 2022 at 26,322 miles, both the nearside and offside front brake discs were flagged as worn, pitted, or scored. By November 2025 at 45,551 miles, the offside front inner disc has returned with the same advisory. This suggests a persistent issue with that specific corner, possibly stemming from a binding caliper, a sticking slide pin, or a disc that was not replaced to a sufficient specification during a previous service. A prospective buyer should have a technician inspect the offside front braking assembly for uneven wear, caliper function, and disc thickness variation. The nearside front should also be measured, given its identical advisory three years prior. Beyond the braking system, the December 2023 test recorded a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and an offside front headlamp aim that was too low. The tyre wear, occurring at 33,009 miles, points to aggressive front-end geometry or simple neglect of tyre pressures and alignment checks. The headlamp aim defect, which was rectified before the retest on the same day, is a minor concern but worth verifying during a test drive to ensure the beam pattern remains correct. No structural corrosion, suspension defects, or exhaust emissions failures have been recorded throughout the vehicle's history, which is a positive indicator of overall structural integrity. A thorough inspection of the front suspension bushes, tracking, and brake hydraulics remains the priority before purchase.
