2015 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · EX65 NFY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive servicing. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 92,762 miles resulted in a pass, it initially failed due to a stop lamp and significant brake wear. The presence of pitted and scored brake discs on both axles, combined with thin rear pads, suggests that the previous owner neglected routine brake maintenance until components reached a point of failure or a critical advisory interval. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. The record shows a 5,416-mile interval between the January 2024 test (82,221 miles) and the 2025 test (87,637 miles), followed by another 5,125 miles leading to the February 2026 test. This steady usage suggests the car is not sat frequently, which often contributes to the degradation of rubber components and fluids seen in the history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension system, as the January 2024 test flagged splitting bushes on both front and rear lower arms. Although these were noted as not yet causing excessive movement at that time, rubber degradation continues and will eventually affect handling and uneven tyre wear. The 2024 failure also highlighted perished and cracked rear tyres, indicating a history of ignoring age-related material fatigue in rubber-based components regardless of remaining tread depth. Further attention should be paid to the exhaust system, which emitted excessive vapour in early 2024. While the vehicle passed the emissions test shortly thereafter, recurring exhaust issues can indicate early engine combustion problems or sensor faults that require close monitoring. Given the recent failure for worn brake discs, the buyer should verify that these components were actually replaced with high-quality parts rather than simply being resurfaced to pass the test.
