2010 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · AO60 AEJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass in the November 2025 test at 122,649 miles. While the most recent result shows no defects, the history indicates a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive upkeep. The car has experienced several failures involving braking systems and suspension components, but the recent absence of advisories suggests that these issues were addressed effectively during the previous testing cycles. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,666 miles per year. The records show steady usage, moving from 67,662 miles in September 2015 to the current 122,649 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing timeline that would suggest long periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate concerns regarding seized components or perished rubber seals due to standing still. A buyer should focus a physical inspection on the braking system and rear suspension. The record shows a recurring trend of brake disc corrosion and wear, specifically noted in the October 2023 test at 114,026 miles and the November 2024 failure at 118,132 miles where both rear service brakes were binding. The tester also flagged significantly worn rear brake discs during that same 2024 failure. Given the history of binding calipers and pitted discs, a thorough check of the brake pads, discs, and caliper movement is necessary to ensure the recent pass reflects a complete repair. Suspension and tyre maintenance also warrant scrutiny. The vehicle has faced multiple failures regarding anti-roll bar linkage ball joints and broken coil springs, notably in the October 2022 failure at 110,398 miles and the April 2018 failure at 94,416 miles. Furthermore, the frequent advisories for tyres wearing on edges or reaching legal limits suggest that wheel alignment or general tyre management has been inconsistent. Checking the condition of the suspension bushes and the current tread depth across all tyres is advised.
