2018 Hyundai I30 2.0L Petrol · HW57 RAT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from consumable neglect to mechanical component wear. The most recent test in September 2025 at 72,731 miles flagged both front and rear brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored. While these did not result in a failure, they indicate that the braking system is reaching the end of its effective life and requires attention, following the clean records seen in the previous years. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Data shows a steady accumulation of 2,310 miles between September 2023 and September 2024, followed by nearly 11,650 miles between September 2024 and September 2025. This regular usage suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stand-standing, which is generally beneficial for the health of rubber components, seals, and fluid systems. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the tyres and braking assembly. The MOT history from 2022 and 2023 reveals a recurring pattern of tyre damage, including multiple nails, cuts, and exposed cords that eventually led to a failure at 58,605 miles. This suggests the previous owner was reactive rather than proactive regarding maintenance. Given the recent pitting and scoring noted in the 2025 test, the buyer should verify the thickness of the brake pads and check for any judder during braking to ensure the discs are not beyond immediate replacement.
