2015 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · AF65 OTG

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a pattern of neglect regarding tyre condition and alignment. In the most recent test in September 2025 at 64,500 miles, the car passed with advisories for perishing rear tyres and a nail in the nearside rear tyre. This follows a trend from 2024 where the nearside front tyre was found worn to the legal limit, indicating a reactive rather than proactive maintenance approach. The mileage profile is notably low for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. Between October 2023 (53,089 miles) and September 2025 (64,500 miles), the car covered over 11,000 miles. While low mileage suggests less mechanical strain on the engine and drivetrain, the intervals between tests can ( to rubber degradation, evidenced by the cracking and perishing noted in the 2021 and 2025 records. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and wheel alignment, as the recurring "worn on edge" faults in 2021 and 2024 suggest potential issues with worn bushes, control arms, or incorrect geometry. Given the age of the vehicle and the low usage, all four tyres should be checked for sidewall cracking beyond tread depth. No structural corrosion or brake failures have appeared in the history, meaning the primary focus should remain on consumables and rubber-related components.
