Our Verdict
A reasonable option for those needing a
Verify the service history to ensure the 1.6 diesel engine has been serviced at regular intervals, particularly given that the mileage exceeds the model average. Check for evidence of recent tyre replacements, as the July 2026 MOT specifically flagged both front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit.
Negotiate based on the upcoming maintenance needs. Ensure that all exterior lighting is fully operational, as stop lamps and headlamps have been recurring failure points in the 2025 and 2026 tests.
The 1.6L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, though annual costs will be influenced by the vehicle's age and tax bracket. Insurance groups for the i30 are typically moderate, making it a cost-effective choice for daily commuting.
Maintenance costs are generally standard for the segment, but buyers should budget for the replacement of brake pads and suspension components, which are noted as common failure points for this model across aggregate data. The estimated annual running cost is approximately £1,100-£1,400.
Carefully inspect the tread depth and condition of the front tyres, as these were recorded as worn on the edge and close to the legal limit during the July 2026 test. Test every exterior light, including the stop lamps and dipped beams, as these have caused failures in two consecutive years.
While this specific vehicle has not yet failed for suspension issues, the aggregate data for 111,403 i30s identifies suspension arms as a top failure reason. A professional inspection of the underside is recommended to check for wear in these areas.
This grey 2016 Hyundai i30 1.6 diesel has recorded 96,576 miles, which is higher than the average for this model. The MOT history includes two failures in the last two years, both of which were resolved on the day of testing and related to lighting and tyre wear. It achieved a clean pass in July 2024.
The Hyundai i30 has an average MOT pass rate of 78.0% across a large sample size, with tyres and brake pads being the most frequent causes of failure.
