HYUNDAI I302019 · 2.0L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, passing its latest MOT on April 24 2026 with 85,416 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a reactive rather than proactive approach. While the most recent test recorded no defects, the car failed just one day prior due to a structural bulge in the offside front tyre, a damaged nearside tyre, and a failed wiper blade. These critical safety issues were addressed immediately upon failure, suggesting the owner only performs necessary repairs when mandated by the tester. The mileage pattern indicates consistent high-frequency use, averaging approximately 12,200 miles per year which sits above the national average for a seven-year-old car. The vehicle covered 18,390 miles between April 2023 and May 2024, and another 13,508 miles in the following year leading to the April 2025 test. This steady rate of accumulation puts significant pressure on mechanical components and consumables, as evidenced by the repeated failures of front-end hardware and drivetrain components across the various testing intervals. A buyer should focus inspection on the front suspension and braking assembly, as the history reveals recurring issues in these areas. The 2023 test flagged thin brake pads and worn discs alongside uneven tyre wear, while the 2024 test identified a deteriorated CV boot on the offside front drive shaft. You must physically check for grease leakage around the drive shafts to ensure the previous boot replacement was executed correctly and verify that the front brake discs and pads are not nearing the end of their service life. Given the recent tyre-related failure in April 2026, it is also vital to inspect the current tyres for uneven wear or impact damage that might indicate an alignment issue.
