Our Verdict
A solid recommendation for those seeking a predictable runabout. The vehicle shows a consistent MOT history with no recurring mechanical defects recorded in recent years.
When viewing this specific 1.6L petrol i30, check the service history to see how the 91,028 miles have been managed. While the MOT records are relatively clean, you should verify that oil changes have been performed regularly to protect the engine.
Negotiate based on the fact that the mileage is higher than the model average of 7,184 miles per year. Ensure that any work carried out following the February 2025 MOT failure is documented with receipts, even though the specific defect was not listed in the summary provided.
The 1591cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group, making it suitable for a variety of drivers. Fuel economy for this era of i30 is typically respectable for a non-hybrid petrol hatchback, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Maintenance costs should be aligned with standard hatchback parts. Given the model aggregate data, you should budget for periodic replacements of tyres, brake pads, and suspension components, which are the most common failure points for this model across the wider dataset.
Focus your inspection on the consumables. Based on the aggregate data for this model, pay close attention to the condition of the tyres, brake pads, and the integrity of the suspension arms.
Although the most recent MOTs for EX11KFW show no defects, the 2025 failure suggests a component required attention. Inspect the underside for any signs of wear or corrosion and check that the tyres have even tread depth across the surface to avoid common MOT failures.
