2022 Hyundai I30 SE Connect Mhev T-GDI 1.0L Hybrid electric · SW22 JLU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance record shows a worsening trend regarding component degradation related to age. While it passed the most recent test on 9 June 2026 at 18,506 miles, the tester flagged perishing across all four tyres and significant surface pitting on both front and rear brake discs. These issues, following suspension concerns from the previous year, indicate a pattern where rubber and metal components are failing due to inactivity rather than mechanical stress. The mileage profile is notably low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles annually. Between the June 2025 test at 14,301 miles and the June 2026 test at 18,506 miles, the car covered only 4,205 miles. This low usage explains the presence of perished tyre sidew and scored brake discs, as long periods of standing allow surface corrosion to occur and rubber to dry out. A buyer must inspect the front lower suspension arms specifically, as the 2025 test identified worn rear bushes on both the nearside and offside. Although these did not fail the 2026 test, the recurring nature of rubber-based faults suggests the suspension is nearing a replacement interval. The buyer should also verify the thickness and condition of the brake discs, as the pitting noted in the latest report will likely lead to premature wear of pads and poor braking performance.
