2014 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · EO64 VUX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward neglecting consumable component care. While it passed the most recent test in May 2026 at 72,515 miles, the tester flagged both front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit with uneven edge wear. This mirrors the advisory from the May 2025 test at 61,343 miles, indicating a persistent pattern where the owner delays tyre replacement until they reach a failure point. The mileage profile remains consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between May 2023 and May 2024, the car covered 13,451 miles, representing a significant spike in usage compared to the annual average. However, the usage dropped back to roughly 11,600 miles in the following year. This fluctuating mileage suggests the car is used for short-distance trips, which can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and suspension parts even when the total odometer reading remains low. A buyer must inspect the front suspension thoroughly due to the failures recorded in May 2024. At 49,759 miles, the vehicle failed for an excessively worn offside front track rod end and a split nearside front wishbone bush. While these were repaired to pass the subsequent test, the recurring uneven tyre wear in the last two tests suggests the wheel alignment may be out of specification or that suspension components are failing prematurely. Check for further play in the wishbone bushes and ensure the tracking has been professionally corrected to prevent the observed premature wear pattern on the front tyres.
