Our Verdict
A solid choice for those looking for a practical petrol hatchback with a very clean recent MOT record. While the mileage is higher than average, the lack of recent advisories suggests a consistent level of basic upkeep.
When inspecting this i30, prioritize the service history records, as the vehicle has crossed the 100,000-mile milestone. Ensure that major service items and fluid changes have been performed according to manufacturer intervals. Given the high mileage, check the condition of the wear components, specifically the clutch and suspension, as these are common areas of wear on this model.
Pay close attention to the October 2024 MOT failure; although it passed on the same day, you should verify what the specific defect was to ensure the repair was completed correctly. Look for any signs of oil leaks around the engine block, which can occasionally appear on high-mileage petrol engines of this era.
The 1.4cc engine is positioned for efficiency, typically placing the car in a lower insurance group compared to larger variants. You can expect respectable fuel economy, around 40-45 MPG depending on driving style and load.
Annual running costs are estimated between £900-£1,100, accounting for fuel, standard tax, insurance, and a budget for routine maintenance like brake and pads and affordable replacements.
Inspect the undercarriage specifically for anti-roll bar links, as aggregate data identifies this as a common failure point for the Hyundai i30. Check the tyre tread depth and consistency across all four wheels, as tyres are a frequent reason for MOT failures on this model.
Since the most recent MOT in October 2025 recorded no defects, focus on the mechanical feel of the car. Listen for any knocking noises when driving over bumps and ensure the steering remains straight, as high-mileage vehicles can suffer from bushing wear that develops over time.
This 2013 Hyundai i30 has covered 108,061 miles, which is significantly higher than the national average of 7,253 miles per year for its age. However, the vehicle has passed its last three consecutive MOT tests with no defects recorded, following a single failure in October 2024. The 1.4cc petrol engine offers a straightforward setup for daily commuting if maintenance history is verified.
The Hyundai i30 is generally considered reliable, though suspension components like anti-roll bars require frequent attention over time.
