2015 Hyundai I30 1.6L Petrol · EN64 VFH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent passing record in recent years. The most recent test on 4 June 2026 at 77,730 miles resulted in a pass, noting only a slightly discoloured offside rear direction indicator. This follows a clean pass in June 2025 at 70,792 miles, suggesting that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed and the vehicle is currently maintaining a consistent standard of upkeep. The mileage accumulation appears steady and typical for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. The record shows a reliable progression from 23,571 miles in January 2018 to the current 77,730 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing intervals that would suggest long periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate concerns regarding seized components or perished rubber seals often found in low-use vehicles. A pattern of consumable wear is evident in the historical data. The tester flagged thin brake pads and worn discs in January 2023 at 56,237 miles, and again during a failure in June 2024 at 63,422 miles. While these are standard maintenance items, the recurrence of thin brake pads suggests that service intervals for braking components may be stretched. The June 2024 failure also highlighted an excessively worn offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint and tyre degradation, indicating that suspension and tyre management have been reactive rather than proactive in the past. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, specifically checking the thickness of the pads and the condition of the discs to ensure the 2024 replacements were of good quality. Given the previous failure regarding the anti-roll bar linkage, a close examination of the front suspension bushes and ball joints is advisable to check for play or perished rubber. Finally, inspecting the condition of all four tyres for uneven wear or sidewall cracking will confirm if the maintenance issues noted in 2024 have been fully resolved.
