Our Verdict
Exercise caution. While the vehicle has
Prioritise a thorough review of the service history to determine if oil and filter changes were performed regularly, as the MOT records only show reactive repairs to consumables. The repeated failures for tyres and brakes suggest that maintenance may only be carried out to satisfy the MOT requirements rather than as part of a preventative schedule.
When negotiating, use the pattern of MOT failures to justify a professional pre-purchase inspection. Ensure that the brake pads and tyres currently fitted are of a reputable brand and have sufficient tread and thickness remaining, as these have been recurring issues for this specific registration.
The 1.6L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, making it a cost-effective choice for higher mileage drivers. Tax and insurance will be typical for a 2015 family hatchback, though diesel particulate filter (DPF) maintenance should be considered if the car is used primarily for short city trips.
Typical maintenance costs for the i30 are moderate, but the aggregate data suggests a propensity for suspension arm and brake wear. Combined with fuel, tax, and insurance, the annual running costs are estimated to be mid-range for this class of vehicle.
Carefully inspect the condition of all four tyres and the thickness of both front and rear brake pads, as these caused failures in both 2024 and 2025. Specifically, check the offside front wheel to ensure all wheel nuts are present and correctly torqued, following the 2024 failure for missing fixings.
Given that suspension arms are a top failure reason for the i30 across 111,403 analysed vehicles, have a mechanic check the bushings and joints for play or perishing, even though they have not yet appeared on this vehicle's MOT record.
This 2015 black Hyundai i30 diesel has recorded 85,236 miles. The MOT history shows a trend of failures in 2024 and 2025, specifically regarding tyres, brake pads, and missing wheel nuts. While it aligns with common model failure points, the frequency of these basic maintenance failures suggests a reactive approach to upkeep.
The i30 has an average MOT pass rate of 78.0%, with the most frequent failures occurring in the tyres, brake pads, and suspension arms.
