2015 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · GU15 ULE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. While it passed the most recent test on 23 March 2026 at 93,395 miles, it failed just three days prior at 93,349 miles due to a binding offside front service brake and critical wear on both front tyres. This pattern suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when forced by an MOT failure rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with a typical eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 13,436 miles covered between February 2025 and March 2026, which represents a higher rate of use compared to the previous years. This rapid accumulation in the final twelve months explains the sudden degradation of the front tyres and braking components, as the vehicle has been driven more frequently recently, likely accelerating the wear-related issues that led to the 2026 failures. A buyer should personally inspect the front braking system to ensure the binding caliper identified in March has been properly rectified and not caused uneven wear to the disc or overheating. The recurring issues with discoloured side repeaters and indicators across 2024 and 2026 are minor cosmetic neglect but reflect a lack of attention to detail. Given the recent failure for tyre wear, a thorough check of the remaining tread depth and the suspension bushes is necessary, as the record shows the vehicle is being run to its legal limits before replacement occurs.
