2015 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · EX65 NFR

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of deferred suspension and brake repairs. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 117,458 miles identified a nearside rear service brake binding and wear on the rear suspension arm bushes, the car passed despite these advisories. The recurring nature of suspension bushing wear across multiple years suggests that the owner only addresses components once they approach an MOT failure threshold rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 117,458 miles, this 11-year-old Hyundai has averaged approximately 10,678 miles per year, which aligns closely with the typical national average for its age. The record shows steady usage, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between each annual test from 2022 to 2025. However, the failure in September 2023 at 97,418 miles highlights a period where basic items items like parking brake efficiency and lighting were neglected, though these were rectified immediately for the retest. A buyer must closely inspect the front and rear suspension geometry, as the nearside front suspension arm bushes have been flagged for wear in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The progression from bushing wear to actual corrosion on the rear suspension arm noted in 2025 indicates that the chassis components are beginning to degrade under environmental stress. Additionally, the noted binding of the nearside rear brake and the history of pitted rear brake discs from 2022 warrant a physical check of the calipers and rotors to ensure there is no excessive drag or uneven pad wear.
