2018 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · MM67 NNG

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a clear worsening trend regarding brake and tyre condition. In the most recent test in November 2025 at 51,286 miles, the tester identified pitting and scoring on both front and rear brake discs alongside insufficient handbrake reserve travel. While the car consistently passes, the recurring nature of these advisories suggests that the previous owners are only addressing components once they reach the point of failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle. The record shows steady progression from 25,152 miles in late 2021 to 51,286 miles in late 2025. This low annual mileage suggests the drivetrain and engine components are likely under low stress, but it also explains why rubber components and metal surfaces may suffer if neglected, as evidenced by the persistent corrosion on the brake discs noted over the last three tests. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system, specifically focusing on the rear calipers which showed a history of binding as recently as November 2024 at 45,892 miles. The recurring pitting on the discs indicates the vehicle likely sits for long periods or operates in harsh environments, leading to surface corrosion. Additionally, the handbrake mechanism should be checked for adjustment as the latest report flagged a lack of reserve travel. The persistent uneven wear on the offside rear tyres also suggests a potential alignment issue that requires professional verification.
