Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system. The 2026 MOT recorded binding and imbalance, and the 2024 record also noted brake binding, suggesting a persistent issue that needs professional verification. You should also investigate the status of the clutch, which was flagged as worn in March 2025, to determine if it has since been replaced.
Check the bonnet latch mechanism carefully, as it was previously flagged as a serious safety risk in 2025. When negotiating, use the recurring windscreen damage and the noted surface corrosion on the subframe and suspension as leverage to adjust the price, as these will require future attention.
The 1.6L diesel engine is generally fuel-efficient, making it a viable choice for higher mileage users. Tax and insurance for the i30 are typically competitive, though maintenance costs for this specific vehicle may be higher than average due to the recurring brake and suspension issues seen in the records.
Annual costs will include diesel fuel, standard road tax for a 2013 diesel, and insurance. Given the history of tyre and brake wear, a higher budget for consumables is recommended. The estimated annual running cost is approximately £1,200-£1,500.
Conduct a detailed underside inspection to assess the extent of the surface corrosion on the subframe and suspension mentioned in the March 2026 test. Check the windscreen for the damage that has been noted in three consecutive MOT tests (2024, 2025, and 2026) to see if it has finally been repaired.
Test the brakes for any signs of binding or unevenness, as this has been a recurring theme since 2024. Additionally, check the steering rack and track rod ends, which were both flagged for excessive play or joint issues between 2024 and 2025, to ensure the repairs were comprehensive.
This black 2013 Hyundai i30 diesel has recorded 93,074 miles. The vehicle's history shows multiple MOT failures in 2025 and 2026, specifically concerning brake binding, worn tyres, and faulty track rod ends. It also carries a recurring advisory for windscreen damage and recent notes of surface corrosion on the underside.
The Hyundai i30 has a 78.1% average MOT pass rate, with common failure points being tyres, brake pads, and suspension arms.
