2015 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · EX65 MHM

A recurring pattern of offside front tyre wear and intermittent lighting failures defines the roadworthiness history of this vehicle. While the test on 12 August 2026 resulted in a pass, it followed a failure for a non-functional nearside front dipped beam and left an advisory for a worn offside front tyre. Similar issues with headlamp aim and inner edge tyre wear were recorded in 2022, suggesting a persistent trend regarding lighting adjustments and front-end tyre longevity. The recorded mileage of 66,843 miles is typical for an eleven year old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,077 miles per year. This steady rate of accumulation suggests the car has been used regularly rather than sitting for extended periods or being subjected to excessive heavy-duty use. Mechanically, this level of usage typically means that while major drivetrain components should have significant life remaining, wear-and-tear consumables such as suspension bushes and brake components are entering a phase where replacement becomes more likely. Attention should be paid to the front axle alignment, as the repeated advisories for inner edge wear on the offside front tyre indicate a potential tracking issue or worn suspension components. During a test drive, the vehicle should be monitored for any steering pull or instability when travelling in a straight line. The presence of a nail in the nearside rear tyre in 2024 and the current advisory for the offside front tyre necessitate a close inspection of all tyre treads for uneven wear patterns. The 2024 record of fluctuating service brakes across both the front and rear axles warrants a specific check of the braking system. A prospective buyer should feel for any unusual pedal judder or pulsing during deceleration, which could indicate warped brake discs or binding calipers. Additionally, a full functional check of all external lighting is required to ensure the previously failed headlamp and aim issues have been permanently resolved.
