2014 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · GK64 FBB

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT in July 2025, although this followed a failed test just four days prior due to the parking brake efficiency falling below the required standard. There is a recurring pattern of issues related to the braking system. In August 2023, the car failed on multiple brake-related defects, including thin front and rear brake pads and worn front brake discs. Combined with the more recent parking brake failure, this suggests that the braking components have required significant attention over the last few years. The overall condition trend appears stable, though maintenance seems to be reactive, with several safety-critical items only being addressed once they caused an MOT failure. Other recorded defects from 2023 were minor, involving headlamp aim, a non-functioning dipped beam, and a smearing rear wiper blade. The recorded mileage of 84,948 miles is typical for a twelve-year-old vehicle. This suggests a standard level of use, meaning the wear seen on the brakes and discs is likely consistent with normal age and mileage rather than excessive hard use or degradation from long periods of standing. A buyer should first inspect the condition of the brake pads and discs to ensure they have been replaced rather than just skimmed or patched. It is also essential to thoroughly test the parking brake to ensure the previous efficiency failure has been fully resolved and that the system holds firmly.
