2015 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · FX65 XDP

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 22 May 2026 at 94,549 miles, confirming current roadworthiness. The maintenance trend is worsening. The previous three annual tests in 2023, 2024, and 2025 recorded no defects, whereas the 2026 test flagged multiple issues including tyre perishing on both axles, a rear brake disc that is worn, pitted and scored, and offside rear brake binding. Tyre degradation first appeared in 2022 on the rears and has now progressed to both front and rear, indicating an ongoing problem with rubber condition or storage. The odometer shows a steady accumulation of roughly 8,500 miles per year, consistent with typical use for a vehicle of this age. There are no anomalous gaps or sudden spikes; annual mileage increased from 9,000 in 2019 to 12,000 in 2022 and 2024, then settled at 7,000 in the year to May 2026. The record is continuous with annual tests from 2018 onward, showing consistent owner attention to the MOT cycle. The buyer should inspect the tyres closely, as both front and rear now show perishing and cracking, a condition first flagged in 2022 on the rears and now present on all four. The rear brake disc exhibits scoring and wear, and the offside rear brake is binding, suggesting the caliper may be sticking and requiring removal and overhaul. Front tyre wear to the legal limit on the inner edges in 2022 points to possible toe misalignment or worn suspension bushes; a geometry check and suspension inspection are advisable. The TPMS and wiper failures in 2019 and 2020 were minor consumable or electrical issues and do not indicate structural risk.
