2015 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · YC15 LZM

The Hyundai i30 presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT test on 15 October 2025 at 145,280 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the last three annual cycles, with the two earlier failures in October 2023 and October 2024 showing no recorded defects and therefore likely administrative or presentational issues rather than mechanical faults. No advisories or worn components appear anywhere in the supplied record. The vehicle has covered 145,280 miles in roughly eleven years, equating to about 13,200 miles per year and placing it above average use for its age. Mileage advanced from 124,829 at the failed October 2023 test to 136,334 by the October 2024 pass, then to 145,280 by October 2025, a consistent yearly accumulation near 9,000 to 11,000 miles. The clean test outcomes across this span suggest the previous owner kept basic consumables and emissions within limits, though the sparse record gives limited insight into underlying wear. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness given the high total mileage and eleven-year age. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories in the DVSA data is reassuring, but standing moisture and road salt exposure can hide pending issues not caught in a pass with no defects. Verify the true reason for the two zero-defect failures, as repeated test attempts without noted faults often point to documentation or tester error rather than owner neglect. Given the 2025 pass is under nine months old relative to today's date, the i30 retains valid test evidence of roadworthiness. Focus any pre-purchase checks on drivetrain noise, tyre sidewall condition, and underbody rust not visible in the MOT summary.
