2009 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · WR59 ENM

The vehicle's roadworthiness is currently passing the 100% test, but this status is contingent upon maintaining a strictly stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2026-02-14 was passed at 109,053 miles, which is consistent with the vehicle's age and typical usage profile. The MOT record shows no major deterioration in the 2025-2026 period, indicating that the engine and drivetrain have not experienced the severe wear or structural damage typically associated with increased mileage accumulation. However, the history reveals a distinct pattern of wear that suggests the vehicle has been maintained on a "basic upkeep" rather than a "regular" schedule, particularly concerning the suspension and braking components. The mileage trend is characterized by significant gaps between test dates, with the most recent test occurring on 2026-02-14. This creates a noticeable gap between the 2025-02-22 and 2024-02-24 tests, where the vehicle was tested at 98,851 and 89,475 miles respectively. This gap suggests that the vehicle has been used for approximately 2.3 years without a full MOT, which is a common occurrence for older vehicles. The 2023-02-25 test at 80,927 miles falls within the normal range for a 17-year-old car, confirming that the drivetrain and suspension have not deteriorated to the point of requiring immediate attention. Given the specific faults recorded in the history, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical components. The 2026-02-14 test flagged the Rear Exhaust mounting as defective, a critical finding that indicates the exhaust system may be compromised. The 2024-02-24 test identified worn tyres on both nearside and offside, with the nearside tyre worn close to the legal limit, suggesting that the vehicle has likely been used for approximately 3.5 years without regular tyre rotation or replacement. The 2022-02-28 test noted a cut on the nearside rear tyre, which is a serious structural defect that requires immediate professional assessment to prevent further damage. Therefore, the buyer should verify the condition of the exhaust system, inspect the wear on the nearside tyres, and have the suspension components checked, as these are the most likely points of failure given the age and mileage.
