Our Verdict
Exercise caution before purchasing this
When viewing this vehicle, you should check the current state of the suspension system. The MOT history shows a recurring theme of issues with ball joints, track rod ends, and corroded coil springs. Ensure that the most recent offside front suspension arm ball joint issue noted in April 2026 has been professionally rectified and not just noted as an advisory.
Negotiate based on the maintenance required for the braking system and tyres. The 2025 MOT highlighted worn brake discs, thin pads, and a tyre worn to the legal limit. Ask for receipts to prove these components were replaced. Given the 1.6L diesel engine, also verify if the timing belt/cambelt has been changed, as this is a common requirement for this engine type around this mileage, though not explicitly stated in the MOT records.
As a 1582cc diesel, this i30 is designed for efficient long-distance running, though actual fuel economy will depend on driving style and load. Tax and insurance groups for this model vary, but the 1.6L engine typically falls into a mid-range bracket.
Maintenance costs for this model often involve suspension and braking components, which are noted as top failure reasons for this vehicle type in the aggregate data. Expect regular spending on consumables like tyres and brake pads. An estimated annual running cost for this vehicle is approximately £1,100-£1,400, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance.
A thorough inspection of the underside is essential. The MOT history for this specific vehicle shows repeated issues with coil spring corrosion (noted in both 2024 and 2025) and ball joint play. Check for any signs of further corrosion or looseness in the suspension arms and track rod ends.
Additionally, inspect the braking system and tyres. The vehicle has a history of pitted brake discs and thin pads. Check the tread depth on all tyres and look for uneven wear, which could indicate alignment issues following the track rod end failures noted in previous tests. Finally, check the windscreen for any stone chips, as this was flagged in the April 2026 test.
This 1.6L diesel Hyundai i30 has covered 91,129 miles since its first registration in September 2013. The MOT history reveals frequent failures related to wear and tear, specifically involving suspension components, brake parts, and tyres. While the most recent test in April 2026 was a pass, the vehicle has a documented history of advisories and failures across its last three tests.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 78.1% average MOT pass rate, with common failures occurring in tyres, brake pads, and suspension arms.
