2018 Hyundai I30 2.0L Petrol · SY68 WHH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass in January 2026 at 95,248 miles. However, the immediate maintenance history shows a period of reactive rather than proactive care. The failure in late December 2025 at just 59 miles prior to the pass revealed critical safety defects, including a damaged windscreen obstructing the view and two rear tyres with exposed cords. While these were rectified to pass the January test, the pattern suggests the owner only addressed essential faults once they triggered an MOT failure. The mileage profile is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year. There is a significant spike in usage between September 2023 (44,368 miles) and December 2025 (95,189 miles), where the car covered over 50,000 miles in just 27 months. This rapid accumulation correlates with the accelerated wear observed in the braking system and likely placed considerable stress on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to the earlier years of operation. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system, as records show a recurring trend of thinning brake pads across multiple axles. Faults were noted in 2023 for the rear and again in 2024 for both front and rear, indicating that the components are nearing frequent replacement. The discs should also be checked for grooving or thinning due to this high mileage interval. Given the recent failure for exposed cords, verify the age and brand of all four tyres to ensure high-quality replacements were fitted rather than budget alternatives.
