2010 Hyundai I30 1.6L Petrol · YK10 SYZ

The most recent MOT on 2025-10-21 recorded multiple defects, including oil leaks, corroded suspension components, and play in anti-roll bar linkages. These issues suggest ongoing corrosion and wear in critical suspension systems, with no indication of resolution since earlier failures. The vehicle’s 108,805-mile record aligns with typical usage for its 16-year age, implying no extreme under-use or heavy wear beyond normal aging. Recurring suspension-related defects dominate the history, particularly involving anti-roll bar linkages, coil springs, and suspension arms. The nearside and offside rear anti-roll bar ball joints showed slight play in 2023 and 2025, while corroded coil springs and suspension arms were noted in 2025. These issues persisted despite prior MOT passes, indicating a pattern of progressive corrosion or unresolved mechanical stress. The 2023-10-05 failure included excessive play in a front track rod end, suggesting potential alignment or steering instability risks. The trend shows no improvement in the vehicle’s condition. While the 2025 MOT passed, it retained multiple defects from earlier reports, including oil leaks and corrosion. The 2024 MOT noted fluctuating service brakes, which could relate to suspension or brake system wear.
