2017 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · YY67 BZM

The vehicle presents a stable and positive maintenance profile, with the most recent MOT on 14 November 2025 at 37,643 miles showing a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows two consecutive years of defect-free testing in 2024 and 2023. The absence of advisories or failures in the last three years suggests the vehicle has moved past previous minor issues and is currently maintaining a high standard of roadworthiness. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2017 model, averaging approximately 4,183 miles per year. The records show consistent, incremental increases in mileage, such as the 3,470-mile rise between November 2024 and November 2025. This pattern indicates regular, short-distance usage rather than long periods of inactivity. While low mileage reduces wear on drivetrain and engine components, it can sometimes lead to secondary issues like tyre perishing or battery degradation, though the recent clean tests suggest these have been managed. A buyer should pay close attention to the condition of the tyres, as the November 2022 test flagged perished rear sidewalls. Although the 2025 record shows no current issues, the low annual mileage makes the vehicle susceptible to age-related rubber degradation. I recommend a physical inspection of the tyre sidewalls and tread depth to ensure they are not cracking due to age. Beyond the tyres, the history is remarkably clean. The 2021 advisory regarding a child seat obstructing the belt inspection was a procedural issue rather than a mechanical fault. Given the lack of recorded issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions, the vehicle appears to have been well-maintained. A standard check of the brake pads and fluid levels is sufficient, as the MOT data provides no evidence of recurring mechanical or structural concerns.
