2021 Hyundai I30 SE Connect Mhev T-GDI 1.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · KX21 CGD

The vehicle remains roadworthy following its most recent MOT test in May 2026, but the mechanical record shows a worsening trend regarding suspension rubberwork. While the car passed the test, the frequency of advisories suggests that preventative maintenance is being deferred. Specifically, the deterioration of the front wishbone bushes first noted in July 2024 at 31,617 miles has persisted through to the 2026 test, indicating these components are nearing the point of functional failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a well-used-use vehicle, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year. The car covered 14,925 miles between the July 2024 and July 2025 tests, and another 13,136 miles in the ten months leading up to the May 2026 inspection. This steady usage suggests the vehicle is a regular road car, which explains the accelerated wear on consumables such as the front tyres, which were found at or near the legal limit during the 2025 test. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry closely, as the repeated flagging of the rear wishbone bushes across three years suggests a need for replacement to prevent unpredictable handling. These worn bushes can lead to uneven tyre wear and premature steering play. The 2026 record also identifies a cut on the nearside front tyre and perishing on both rear tyres. These findings indicate the tyres are reaching the end of their safe structural life regardless of tread depth, necessitating a full set of new tyres to ensure safety and grip integrity.
