This 2014 Hyundai i30 Active Blue Drive is a weak performer on the MOT bench, with only 52.8% passing first time against the UK average of 80%—nearly three in ten owners face a retest. The good news is that no vehicles in this cohort have ever recorded a dangerous defect, so safety-critical failures aren't a pattern here.
At 82,000 miles median, these cars are showing their age appropriately for a decade-old model, yet the 0.67 average failures per vehicle suggests accumulated wear is catching up with them. Before buying one, budget for pre-purchase inspection and plan for ongoing maintenance; the low pass rate indicates these diesels need closer attention than the typical used car, but the absence of serious safety issues means failure clusters tend to be fixable wear items rather than structural problems.
The 2014 Hyundai I30 Active Blue Drive CRDI passes its MOT first time at roughly the UK average rate (83.6%) — solid but worth checking this vehicle's history carefully.
These stats describe 652 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
