HYUNDAI I302016 · 1.6L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend has shifted from clean passes to recent failures. The most recent test on 16 December 2025 resulted in a pass at 112,863 miles, but only after a failure the previous day. This failure highlighted a total failure of the nearside front passenger door locks and a worn offside front tyre. The presence of an advisory for the same tyre upon passing suggests the owner opted for the minimum legal requirement rather than proactive replacement. Mileage accumulation has increased significantly in the last two years. The car covered roughly 27,000 miles between December 2023 and December 2025, a sharp rise compared to the 68,496 miles recorded in the 2023 test. This acceleration in use explains the recent emergence of wear-and-tear issues. The record is otherwise clean, with a minor bulb failure in December 2023 being the only other recorded fault. A buyer should specifically inspect the operation of all door handles and locking mechanisms to ensure the December 2025 repair was comprehensive. Given the recent increase in annual mileage, a physical check of the remaining tyre treads and brake pad thickness is necessary, as the offside front tyre was flagged as worn on the edge. This specific wear pattern often indicates a need for wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. The lack of structural corrosion or suspension failures across the history is positive for a vehicle of this age. However, the transition from a clean bill of health in December 2024 to multiple failures in December 2025 suggests a decline in preventative maintenance. Focus on checking the drivetrain and suspension components to ensure they have been serviced to match the recent spike in mileage.
