2013 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · EN62 YDL

This 2013 Hyundai i30 has covered a very low 44,507 miles, averaging roughly 3,400 miles per year. While this suggests the vehicle has seen light usage, the MOT history indicates that the car has suffered from periods of inactivity, as evidenced by the recurring tyre perishing and cracking issues noted in 2024. The vehicle's condition trend appears stable. After a failed MOT in early 2024 involving parking brake and suspension linkage issues, the car was repaired and passed its most recent inspection in January 2026 with no recorded defects. The transition from a failure in 2024 to a clean pass in 2026 suggests that previous maintenance shortcomings have been addressed. The primary risk with this vehicle is the potential for seized components or perished rubber parts due to long periods of standing. Low-mileage cars can often hide issues related to under-use, such as brake binding or stiff suspension components, which may not show up immediately on a short test drive. Before purchasing, you should inspect the condition of the tyres for any signs of sidewall cracking, as this has been a recurring advisory in the past. Check the operation of the parking brake thoroughly on a slope to ensure it holds the vehicle firmly, as this was a specific failure point in 2024. Finally, listen for any knocking noises from the front suspension during your test drive to confirm the anti-roll bar linkages remain in good working order.
