Buying Tips for the 2011 Hyundai i30 (FD)
- ✓Condition matters more than trim because tired cheap FD cars quickly need springs, brakes and suspension arms to pass the next MOT
- ✓Petrol manuals are the easiest route into ownership; older diesels need proper motorway use and better maintenance than bargain adverts usually admit
- ✓Listen for front-end clonks and make sure the steering feels consistent rather than rubbery or loose
- ✓Check under the rear of the car for tired exhaust sections, corroded brake pipes and damp rear dampers
