2014 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · EO14 AEB

The 2025‑10‑23 MOT at 114,745 miles confirms the Hyundai i30 is presently roadworthy, though the record shows recurring suspension and brake advisories that keep the trend stable rather than improving or deteriorating dramatically. The most recent test listed binding near‑side front service brakes and fluctuating off‑side front brakes, while suspension bushes on both front arms show wear but no excessive movement, indicating a consistent level of mechanical concern. Mileage has risen from 45,405 miles in 2020 to 114,745 miles in 2025, an increase of 69,340 miles over five years, averaging 13,868 miles per year, which exceeds the typical 9,562 miles per year for a 12‑year‑old vehicle. The interval between the 2023‑11‑28 and 2024‑10‑23 tests grew by 15,227 miles, suggesting a period of heavy use or extended standing, and the overall accumulation points to more intensive operation than average. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension arm pins and bushes for play or corrosion, examine the front and rear brake calipers, discs and fluid for binding or wear, and assess the underside for rust on the subframe, rear axle and suspension components. Additionally, the history of tyre perishing, nail punctures and occasional wiper failures implies a need to verify tyre tread depth, sidewall condition and the effectiveness of the parking brake and wiper mechanism.
