2014 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · EX14 XEY

The vehicle currently presents a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend despite intermittent mechanical failures. The most recent test on 26 July 2025 at 91,845 miles resulted in a pass following a failure for a supplementary restraint system warning lamp. This indicates that the owner is proactive in addressing safety-critical electrical faults once they are identified, as the vehicle returned to a clean test record immediately following the repair. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,654 miles per annum. Between July 2023 and July 2024, the car covered 4,764 miles, while it added 5,864 miles in the year leading up to the July 2025 test. This relatively steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which generally benefits the condition of rubber suspension components and drivetrain seals compared to long-aged low-mileage vehicles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension, as the July 2023 test at 81,217 miles revealed an excessively worn offside front lower suspension arm ball joint. While this was rectified, the recurring nature of suspension-related advisories warrants a thorough check of the remaining bushes, tie rod ends, and coil springs for signs of degradation. Given the SRS warning lamp failure in 2025, the buyer must also verify that the airbag warning light remains extinguished during operation to ensure the fault was fully resolved and is not an intermittent electrical issue.
