2019 Hyundai I30 1.6L Diesel · SS19 CXF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows signs of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test in July 2025 at 55,111 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior at 55,100 miles. That failure identified both front tyres with tread depths below the legal limit along with thinning front brake pads. This sequence suggests the previous owner only addressed essential faults when forced by an MOT failure, rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. Between July 2022 and July 2024, the car covered 23,774 miles, indicating a steady usage rate. However, the jump of 11,078 miles between July 2024 and July 2025 shows a recent increase in annual mileage. This higher usage likely contributed to the accelerated wear on consumable components like brakes and tyres, which is evidenced by the failure-related issues noted in the most recent inspection period. A buyer must focus closely on the front braking system, as the record has repeatedly flagged thin pads and possible wear on the front discs since 2023. The 2023 test also noted uneven wear on the rear inner tyre edges, which often indicates a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. Furthermore, the persistent mention of undertrays obscuring testable items across four years is a concern; a physical inspection underbody is required to ensure no hidden structural corrosion or fluid leaks are masked from the tester's view by these aftermarket guards.
