2015 Hyundai I30 1.6L Petrol · EN64 VFK

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in proactive upkeep. The most recent test in August 2025 at 63,376 miles resulted in a failure due to a non-functional offside front headlamp and tyres reaching the legal wear limit. While these issues were rectified to secure a pass, the appearance of these faults suggests a lapse in pre-test inspections by the current owner compared to the clean records seen in previous years. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per year. Between August 2022 and July 2023, the car covered 8,486 miles, followed by another 8,436 miles between July 2023 and August 2024. This consistent low-mileage suggests light use, which typically preserves the drivetrain and engine components. However, the low mileage can also lead to the degradation of rubber-based components like suspension bushes and brake hoses if the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods between short trips. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry, as the 2025 failure noted tyres being worn on the edges of both sides. This pattern often indicates misalignment or worn control arm bushes that require attention to prevent premature tyre replacement. Given the low annual mileage, the inspector should also check the brake discs for corrosion or seizing, as infrequently used brakes are prone to surface rust. The structural integrity appears uncompromised based on the lack of advisories for corrosion in the history to date.
