2021 Hyundai I30 Premium Mhev T-GDI 1.0L Petrol · HS21 XUG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs regarding consumable components. While the most recent test on 19 June 2026 at 60,256 miles passed, the tester identified two specific defects: cracked or damaged rear tyre sidewalls and pitted rear brake discs. These issues represent a regression from the clean record in June 2025, suggesting that components are now reaching the end of their operational life due to high usage levels. The mileage profile reflects an average of 12,051 miles per annum, which sits above the national average for a five-year-old vehicle. The data shows a consistent accumulation of roughly 11,000 miles between the June 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 10,728 miles recorded between June 2025 and 2026. This steady high mileage indicates the car is likely used for motorway commuting, which accelerates wear on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking hardware compared to low-mileage examples. A buyer must personally inspect the rear braking system to determine if the pitting noted on the discs has progressed into deep corrosion that requires immediate replacement. The minor exhaust leak flagged in June 2024 at 38,732 miles did not reappear in the latest test, implying it may have been addressed or remained below the threshold of failure. Given the recent sidewall damage on the rear tyres, a thorough check of all four tyres for dry rot or uneven wear is essential to ensure no structural tyre failure exists that the tester might have missed.
