2010 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · YS10 ACV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection in October 2025 at 126,314 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the car met all safety and emissions standards at that time. Despite a failure in June 2024, the immediate re-test pass just one mile later suggests a minor issue was identified and promptly rectified without revealing deep-seated mechanical neglect. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,900 miles per annum. Between the April 2022 at 120,159 miles and March 2023 at 123,150 miles, the car covered 2,991 miles, suggesting a period of lower usage. However, the mileage increased more significantly in the following years, reaching over 126,000 miles by the latest tests. This low annual mileage suggests light short-distance commuting, which typically reduces wear on drivetrain components compared to high-mileage motorway cars. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most susceptible to age-related degradation despite the low mileage. While the MOT history is clean of recurring advisories, the age of the vehicle means that rubber suspension bushes and shock absorbers may perish or crack regardless of distance driven. Inspect the underside for early-stage corrosion on the sills and structural members, as older Hyundais are prone to surface rust. Given the brief failure in 2024, verify that the brake system remains free of binding and that the discs show no uneven wear indicating a sticking caliper.
